An Adobe Workfront Fusion data store, similar to a database or a simple table, can store data from scenarios, making it possible to transfer data between individual scenarios or scenario runs. You can use a data store to store new data from various systems during synchronization.

The data store modules enable you to add, replace, update, retrieve, delete, search, or count records in your Adobe Workfront Fusion data store.

For information on creating, editing, and troubleshooting data stores, see Data Stores in Adobe Workfront Fusion
