# Data sources A data source is a data repository or location that Amazon Kendra connects to and indexes your documents or content. For example, you can configure Amazon Kendra to connect to Microsoft SharePoint to crawl and index your documents stored in this source. You can also index web pages by providing the URLs for Amazon Kendra to crawl. You can automatically synchronize a data source with an Amazon Kendra index so that added, updated, or deleted documents in the data source are also added, updated, or deleted in the index.

You must first create an index before creating a data source connector to index your documents from your data source. **Note** To create an index of documents, you don't need to use a data source. You can add documents directly to an index with batch upload. For more information, see [Adding documents directly to an index](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/in-adding-documents.html). For a walkthrough on using the Amazon Kendra console, the AWS CLI, or SDKs, see [Getting started](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/dg/getting-started.html).
