# Input Controls
## What are input controls?
Input control components, as the name suggests, are responsible for inserting and managing the data in the background. Each component in this category either inserts and manipulates values or text in the spreadsheet or reads from the spreadsheet to insert data into another location.\
\
Data insertion is a fundamental principle of Squirrel, and each of these components contributes to this process in different ways. While they all support data insertion, some offer more insertion options than others.
More information on Data Insertion can be found in [**this article**](https://learn.squirrel365.io/getting-started/data-insertion).
