1. From Setup, enter Data Cloud Setup in the Quick Find box, and then select **Data Cloud Setup**.
2. Click **Data Streams**.
3. Find the data stream that you want to activate.
4. Select the checkbox next to one or more inactive data streams.
5. Click **Activate**.

Data 360 changes the data stream's status to Active. Data 360 begins ingesting data from the source object. This data flows into the standard data lake object and uses the pre-defined mappings to populate the corresponding data model object. You can use this data in segments, analytics, and other processes.
