# Managing data sources

The Data Sources section is the control center for all external data connected to the sales incentive module. Admins can add, manage, and update the data sources that power metrics, plans, and performance calculations.

Go to **Data & Integrations** in the left navigation panel, then click the **Data Sources** tab.

The table shows all connected data sources with the number of **Records** synced and the **Last Updated On** timestamp.

## Adding a data source

* Click **Add Datasource** in the top right corner.

* The Add Datasources page will open showing two sections:

* **Connected** — data sources already linked to your account (e.g. CSV Upload, Webhook, Derived). Click the **+** icon on any connected source to add another instance of it.

* **Add a New Datasource** — available integrations including Close.io, Google Sheet, Hubspot, LeadSquared, Salesforce, Zoho Books, and Zoho CRM.

* Click on the data source you want to connect and follow the prompts specific to that integration.

**For instance, For Google Sheets**, an important checklist will appear before authorisation. Ensure the following before proceeding:

* Required data is in the **first tab** of the Google Sheet — all other tabs will be ignored
* **Row 1 contains field headers**
* The sheet has **no blank rows or columns**

Click **Authorise in Google Sheet** to be redirected to Google to sign in and grant Compass access to your data. Click **Cancel** to go back.

## Viewing an existing data source

Click the **three-dot menu** next to any data source in the list and select **View details** to open a detailed view of that source.

Inside a data source (for example, a CSV source), you will see a list of all **Objects** — the individual datasets uploaded under that source — along with the number of records and the last updated timestamp. Use the search bar to find a specific object.
