+# Customer intent: They have some Tables in OneLake, they want to use Azure ML studio for ML activities, so they need to link the Tables in AML, and they prefer to do it through UI.
+---
+
+# Introduction of the solution
+There were some existing solutions which can build a link in Azure Machine Learning to OneLake, get the data, and create a datastore in AML. However, in those solutions, the data in OneLake is of type "Files. Refer to the reference section. Some customers have data in OneLake as type "Tables." The existing solutions creating datastore in AML don’t work.

+
+Also some customers prefer doing in UI. Therefore, a new solution is needed to link AML to Tables in OneLake using UI.
+
+In this article, you learn how to link tables in OneLake to Azure Machine Learning studio through UI.

+
+
+## Step 1. Create data lake storage account in Azure portal
+
+:::image type="content" source="media/create-datastore-with-UI/3-create-storage-account.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows an example of data lake storage account in Azure portal." lightbox="./media/create-datastore-with-UI/3-create-storage-account.png":::
+
+## Step 2. Enable storage account key access
+
+:::image type="content" source="media/create-datastore-with-UI/4-enable-key-access.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to enable key access of data lake storage account in Azure portal." lightbox="./media/create-datastore-with-UI/4-enable-key-access.png":::
+
+## Step 3. Assign roles to the storage account
+
+:::image type="content" source="media/create-datastore-with-UI/5-assign-roles.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to assign roles of data lake storage account in Azure portal." lightbox="./media/create-datastore-with-UI/5-assign-roles.png":::
+
+## Step 4. Create a container
+
+:::image type="content" source="media/create-datastore-with-UI/6-create-container.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to create a container of data lake storage account in Azure portal." lightbox="./media/create-datastore-with-UI/6-create-container.png":::
+
+## Step 5. In Fabric, create a pipeline
+
+:::image type="content" source="media/create-datastore-with-UI/7-create-pipeline.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to create a data pipeline in Fabric." lightbox="./media/create-datastore-with-UI/7-create-pipeline.png":::
+
+## Step 6. With the pipeline, start the 'Copy data assistant'
+
+:::image type="content" source="media/create-datastore-with-UI/8-copy-data-assistant.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to start Copy data assistant in Fabric." lightbox="./media/create-datastore-with-UI/8-copy-data-assistant.png":::
+
+## Step 7. In the 'Copy data assistant,' select Azure Blobs
+
+:::image type="content" source="media/create-datastore-with-UI/9-select-azure-blob.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to select Azure blobs in Copy data assistant in Fabric." lightbox="./media/create-datastore-with-UI/9-select-azure-blob.png":::
+
+## Step 8. Set storage account, create connection
+

+
+## Step 10. Connect to data destination

+
+## Step 11. Copy activity is scheduled
+

+
+## Step 13. Check storage account, container in Azure portal
+
+:::image type="content" source="media/create-datastore-with-UI/15-check-container.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to verify the data in Azure storage account container." lightbox="./media/create-datastore-with-UI/15-check-container.png":::
+
+## Step 14. In ML studio create data asset, type 'File'
+
+:::image type="content" source="media/create-datastore-with-UI/16-create-data-asset.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to create a data asset in Azure Machine Learning studio." lightbox="./media/create-datastore-with-UI/16-create-data-asset.png":::
+
+## Step 15. Select 'From Azure storage'
+
+:::image type="content" source="media/create-datastore-with-UI/17-select-azure-storage.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to select Azure storage." lightbox="./media/create-datastore-with-UI/17-select-azure-storage.png":::
+
+## Step 16. Create a 'New datastore'
+
+:::image type="content" source="media/create-datastore-with-UI/18-new-datastore.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to create new datastore in Azure Machine Learning." lightbox="./media/create-datastore-with-UI/18-new-datastore.png":::
+
+## Step 17. Or you can directly 'Create datastore' from the beginning
+
+:::image type="content" source="media/create-datastore-with-UI/19-create-datastore.png" alt-text="Screenshot that shows how to create a datastore in Azure Machine Learning." lightbox="./media/create-datastore-with-UI/19-create-datastore.png":::
+
+## Step 18. Datastore is created

+
+## Step 19. Access the datastore
