After you have attached a custom image to your Amazon SageMaker AI domain, the image becomes available to the users in the domain. Use the following instructions to launch an application with the custom image.

**Note**  
If you have attached a custom image to your SageMaker Unified Studio project, you will need to launch the application from within SageMaker Unified Studio. For more information, see [Launch your custom image](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker-unified-studio/latest/userguide/byoi-launch-custom-image.html) in the *Amazon SageMaker Unified Studio User Guide*.

1. Launch Amazon SageMaker Studio. For instructions, see [Launch Amazon SageMaker Studio](studio-updated-launch.md).

1. If not done so already, expand the **Applications** section.

1. Choose the application from the **Applications** section. If you do not see the application available, the application may be hidden from you. In this case, contact your administrator.

1. To create a space, choose **\$1 Create *application* space** and follow the instructions to create the space.

   To choose an existing space, choose the link name of the space you want to open.
