| 15 | +Starting in version 1.22, |compass| contains an embedded |
| 16 | +`MongoDB Shell <https://docs.mongodb.com/mongodb-shell/>`__. The |
| 17 | +MongoDB Shell is a fully functional JavaScript environment for |
| 18 | +interacting with MongoDB deployments. You can use the MongoDB Shell to |
| 19 | +test queries and operations directly with your database. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Open the Embedded MongoDB Shell |
| 22 | +------------------------------- |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +To open the embedded MongoDB Shell, click :guilabel:`MongoSH Beta` |
| 25 | +along the bottom of |compass|. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +Use the Embedded MongoDB Shell |
| 28 | +------------------------------ |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +When you initially open the MongoDB Shell, it connects to the |
| 31 | +``test`` database. To switch to a different database, run |
| 32 | +the following command in the MongoDB Shell: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +.. code-block:: sh |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + use <database name> |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +To run an operation in the embedded MongoDB Shell, type the operation |
| 39 | +into the shell and press :guilabel:`Enter`. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +.. example:: |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | + .. code-block:: sh |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | + db.employees.find( { "last_name": "Smith" } ) |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | + .. seealso:: |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + :manual:`db.collection.find() |
| 50 | + </reference/method/db.collection.find>` |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +Multi-Line Operations in the Embedded MongoDB Shell |
| 53 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +To write an operation that spans multiple lines in the embedded |
| 56 | +MongoDB Shell, press :guilabel:`Shift + Enter` to begin the next |
| 57 | +line of code. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +When you are finished writing your operation, press :guilabel:`Enter` |
| 60 | +to run it. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +.. example:: |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | + .. code-block:: javascript |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | + db.employees.aggregate( [ // press Shift + Enter |
| 67 | + { $match: { "last_name": "Smith" } } // press Shift + Enter |
| 68 | + ] ) // Press Enter |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | + .. seealso:: |
