      Description

      The main issue is to not able to find the correct steps to shard a collection in MongoDB Atlas. The only documentation found around that was at this page:

      https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/data-explorer/global-writes/

      But the step 4 mentions a tab for Global Writes, which I don't see in my shared cluster. Not sure how I can create and test a sharded collection from MongoDB Atlas.

       

      Is it not possible to shard a collection from Atlas. Do I need to use the command line to connect to Atlas sharded cluster and use the commands to enable sharding and to shard a collection.
