+Launch MongoDB Shell
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can connect the
+`MongoDB Shell <https://docs.mongodb.com/mongodb-shell/>`__ or legacy
+:binary:`mongo <mongo>` shell to your active deployment.
+
+Considerations
+``````````````
+
+- The shell that |vsce| uses to connect to your deployment is
+  determined by the :guilabel:`Shell` setting in your
+  :ref:`extension settings <vsce-settings>`. You can choose either
+  the `MongoDB Shell <https://docs.mongodb.com/mongodb-shell/>`__ or
+  legacy :binary:`mongo <mongo>` shell.
+
+- The path to your selected shell must exist in your system's ``PATH``.
+  If it does not exist in your ``PATH``, the operation errors.
+
+Procedure
+`````````
+
+To connect the shell to your active deployment:
+
+1. In the |vsce| :guilabel:`Connections` list, right-click your active
+   deployment.
+
+#. Select :guilabel:`Launch MongoDB Shell`.
+
+|vsce| opens the :guilabel:`Terminal` window in VS Code and launches
+the shell connected to your selected deployment.
