In the IntelliJ I see two tool windows: SBT Console and SBT Shell. What is the difference between these tools?

The sbt tool window is enabled automatically when you create or open your sbt project. Click sbt on the right sidebar to open the tool window. The tool window displays the sbt linked projects, their tasks, dependencies, and all changes made to the underlying build. sbt file.
SBT is an interactive build tool that is used to run tests and package your projects as JAR files. SBT lets you create a project in a text editor and package it, so it can be run in a cloud cluster computing environment (like Databricks).
SBT is tied to a specific project defined by a build. sbt file in a way that $ sbt console will load up the same REPL environment as $ scala but with the addition of all of the project code and dependencies defined in the build available for import. Also, it will use the version of Scala defined by build.
You may have installed both scala and sbt plugins. The newer version of scala plugin has sbt as part of it.
sbt console is the sbt plugin -- click start you will enter into sbt interactive mode.
sbt shell is part of the scala plugin, which is similar to the above mentioned sbt console and can autocomplete commands.
