Use the `Store` method on a `Page` object to create a [scratch pad](g) to store and manipulate data, scoped to the current page. To create a scratch pad with a different [scope](g), refer to the [scope](#scope) section below.
{{% include "_common/store-methods.md" %}}
{{% include "_common/scratch-pad-scope.md" %}}
## Determinate values
The `Store` method is often used to set scratch pad values within a shortcode, a partial template called by a shortcode, or by a Markdown render hook. In all three cases, the scratch pad values are indeterminate until Hugo renders the page content.
If you need to access a scratch pad value from a parent template, and the parent template has not yet rendered the page content, you can trigger content rendering by assigning the returned value to a [noop](g) variable:
```go-html-template
{{ $noop := .Content }}
{{ .Store.Get "mykey" }}
```
You can also trigger content rendering with the `ContentWithoutSummary`, `FuzzyWordCount`, `Len`, `Plain`, `PlainWords`, `ReadingTime`, `Summary`, `Truncated`, and `WordCount` methods. For example:
```go-html-template
{{ $noop := .WordCount }}
{{ .Store.Get "mykey" }}
```
