# Working with data stores The data from the datasource that is to be displayed on the UI is fetched and manipulated using the data store component. In the page tree, the data store component is created under the page component. Adding a data store component to a page creates a store instance for the given datasource. You can also create a store instance explicitly for a component, by providing the datasource details at the respective component level. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
