# Storage

A built-in key/value store for the small stuff — user preferences, settings, feature flags — without
defining a full entity.

## Configure

Enable the storage collection and use it for simple keyed values: per-user settings, app
configuration, flags. Access is governed by [roles & scopes](/platform/roles) like everything else.

Reach for **Storage** for loose key/value data, and [Entities](/platform/entities) for structured
records you'll query and list.

## Use in your app

Your app reads and writes storage through its data API — values keyed by name, scoped to the user or
the app. See the [SDK reference](/api/sdk) for the current data methods.
