# Using the Code Editor
<a name="code-editor-use"></a>

The topics in this section provide guides for using Code Editor, including how to launch, add connections to AWS services, shut down resources, and more. After creating a Code Editor space, you can access your Code Editor session directly through the browser.

Within your Code Editor environment, you can do the following: 
+ Access all artifacts persisted in your home directory
+ Clone your GitHub repositories and commit changes
+ Access the SageMaker Python SDK

You can return to Studio to review any assets created in your Code Editor environment such as experiments, pipelines, or training jobs.
