# 1. Data Source Setup
The first thing you need to do when setting up Select Star is to connect a data source.
Visit the [Integrations](/integrations.md) page to see a list of integrations. Find the page for your data source to see specific setup instructions.
{% content-ref url="/pages/-MgSVP4u2TS\_45Ykm4-n" %}
[Integrations](/integrations.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}
The steps for granting Select Star access to your metadata are slightly different for each source, but you will need admin access to any source you want to connect.
Add your data source to Select Star by going to **Settings.**
Click **Data** in the sidebar, then **+ Add** on the page.
Clicking **+ Add** will open a modal with a dropdown where you can select your data source.
{% hint style="warning" %}
If you have a data warehouse, it is strongly recommended that you add the data warehouse connection **first**, before you add BI tools and other integrations.
{% endhint %}
Once you connect your source, [lineage](/features/lineage.md) will be automatically generated for each data asset across your data sources, as well as the popularity of any tables, columns, and dashboards. \*\*\*\*

## 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.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.selectstar.com/getting-started/data-source-setup.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
