 This component implements a Vector Store using HCD.
 
+To use the HCD vector store, add your deployment's collection name, username, password, and HCD Data API endpoint.
+The endpoint must be formatted like `http[s]://**DOMAIN_NAME** or **IP_ADDRESS**[:port]`, for example, `http://192.0.2.250:8181`.
+
+Replace **DOMAIN_NAME** or **IP_ADDRESS** with the domain name or IP address of your HCD Data API connection.
+
+To use the HCD vector store for embeddings ingestion, connect it to an embeddings model and a file loader:
