Snowflake release enables the use of tabs

The latest Snowflake release enables the use of more than one worksheet in separate tabs. Before this update, we had to exit and reopen the new worksheet to look at some information that was in the different worksheets and there was an extra step to make an easy comparison. Now it would be enough to open the worksheet in a new tab and switch directly from worksheet to worksheet with a single touch.

It may be a very simple update but from the productivity side it is a very important one. Because sometimes the most important thing in our task is time. The more we decrease the process time of a simple task, the better for us.

How to create a new tab

There are some several options while creating a new tab; you can either create a new worksheet or open a worksheet that existed before. You can see your tabs when you open your worksheet in the upper part of Snowflake interface; you can add a new SQL or Python worksheet by clikcing the ‘+’ icon on the right side of tabs bar.

The other option is to use worksheets that already exist. To do so, you should go to worksheets from the left side of your Snowflake interface and then simply click the sheet that you want to open. It will automatically create a new tab if it was not opened earlier. You can see the open worksheets by looking to their colors. For the worksheets that are open, the icon will be displayed in grey next to the worksheet name.

Extra options to do with tabs

By going to ‘3 dots’ icon on your worksheet tab, you can find some extra options for that worksheet such as rename, duplicate or move the file in some folders. You can import SQL files to the worksheet too; this is also a new feature so you can add SQL files in your device to your Snowflake instance. You can see shortcuts as well.

Hello, my name is Can Höbek. I am originally from Turkey, and I currently live in Milan. In my second year of high school, I did a year of exchange in Turin to prepare myself for university and improve my Italian language. I am currently in my final year of bachelor degree in Politecnico di Torino in Management Engineering. During my time there, I was involved in various extracurricular activities, such as volunteer organizations that make science laboratories for primary school students with specific topics that point towards the 2030 goals , which helped me to develop my ability to work in a team and developed my soft-skills. From primary school up to last year of high school, for 10 years I went to conservatory school specializing in classic guitar. I always loved to play different instruments even though my professionality is on classic guitar. Another part that creates me is sports; I love all types of sports but I played professionally in some teams as a football, volleyball player. Before my last year of university I had started to think about my interests and did some research on how to improve myself on that. I found myself wanting to improve on the data and programming part that I started to learn in my first years of university. When I was doing these researches, I found Nimbus that offers first a formation on specific topics that was my area of interest and then gives us an opportunity to work on some projects that you have had formation. The most important part for me was to feel myself learning new things in my area of interest and then working on it.
