## Add a query editor help component
By adding a help component to your plugin, you can for example create "cheat sheets" with commonly used queries. When the user clicks on one of the examples, it automatically updates the query editor. It's a great way to increase productivity for your users.
1. Create a file `QueryEditorHelp.tsx` in the `src` directory of your plugin, with the following content:
```ts
import React from 'react';
import { QueryEditorHelpProps } from '@grafana/data';
export default (props: QueryEditorHelpProps) => {
return (
<h2>My cheat sheet</h2>
);
};
```
1. Configure the plugin to use the `QueryEditorHelp`.
```ts
import QueryEditorHelp from './QueryEditorHelp';
```
```ts
export const plugin = new DataSourcePlugin<DataSource, MyQuery, MyDataSourceOptions>(DataSource)
.setConfigEditor(ConfigEditor)
.setQueryEditor(QueryEditor)
.setExploreQueryField(ExploreQueryEditor)
.setQueryEditorHelp(QueryEditorHelp);
```
1. Create a few examples.
```ts
import React from 'react';
import { QueryEditorHelpProps, DataQuery } from '@grafana/data';
const examples = [
{
title: 'Addition',
expression: '1 + 2',
label: 'Add two integers',
},
{
title: 'Subtraction',
expression: '2 - 1',
label: 'Subtract an integer from another',
},
];
export default (props: QueryEditorHelpProps) => {
return (
<div>
<h2>Cheat Sheet</h2>
{examples.map((item, index) => (
<div className="cheat-sheet-item" key={index}>
<div className="cheat-sheet-item__title">{item.title}</div>
{item.expression ? (
<div
className="cheat-sheet-item__example"
onClick={e => props.onClickExample({ refId: 'A', queryText: item.expression } as DataQuery)}
>
<code>{item.expression}</code>
</div>
) : null}
<div className="cheat-sheet-item__label">{item.label}</div>
</div>
))}
</div>
);
};
```

With Explore, users can make ad-hoc queries without the use of a dashboard. This is useful when users want to troubleshoot or to learn more about the data.
Your data source already supports Explore by default, and will use the existing query editor for the data source. If you want to offer extended Explore functionality for your data source however, you can define a Explore-specific query editor. Optionally, your plugin can also define a _start page_ for Explore.

## Add a start page for Explore
By adding an Explore start page for your plugin, you can for example create "cheat sheets" with commonly used queries. When the user clicks on one of the examples, it automatically updates the query editor, and runs the query. It's a great way to increase productivity for your users.
1. Create a file `ExploreStartPage.tsx` in the `src` directory of your plugin, with the following content:
```ts
import React from 'react';
import { ExploreStartPageProps } from '@grafana/data';
export default (props: ExploreStartPageProps) => {

1. Configure the plugin to use the `ExploreStartPage`.

))}

);
};

## Support multiple Explore modes
Explore lets you query any data source, regardless of whether it returns metrics or logs. You can change which type of query you want to make, by setting the _Explore mode_.
