# Datasources : Overview
|
|
|
|
Datasources pull in and push data to any source including databases, external APIs, or services.

## Connecting datasources
|
|
|
|
1. After logging in to ToolJet, create a new app from the dashboard
|
|
|
|
2. There are two ways for connecting a datasource. You can connect from:
|
|
1. **Left-sidebar**: On the left sidebar, click on the `datasource` icon and then click on the `+ add datasource` button
|
|
|
|
<div style={{textAlign: 'center'}}>
|
|
|
|
<img className="screenshot-full" src="/img/datasource-reference/overview/ls2.png" alt="Datasources: Overview" width="400"/>
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
2. **Query Panel**: Go to the query panel at the bottom, click on the `+Add` button and then click `Add datasource` button
|
|
|
|
<div style={{textAlign: 'center'}}>
|
|
|
|
<img className="screenshot-full" src="/img/datasource-reference/overview/qp2.png" alt="Datasources: Overview"/>
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
3. Follow the steps in the **[Datasource Library](/docs/data-sources/airtable)** specific to the desired datasource
