# Datasources
Once Renovate's manager is done scanning files and extracting dependencies, it will assign a `datasource` to each extracted package file and/or dependency so that Renovate then knows how to search for new versions.
You do not need to ever configure/override datasources directly, but you may use them in a `packageRules` array to configure other aspects of Renovate's behavior, e.g.
```json
{
"packageRules": [
{
"matchDatasources": ["npm"],
"matchPackageNames": ["lodash"],
"automerge": true
}
]
}
```
