 ==========
 
 .. currentmodule:: torchvision.datapoints
+
+Datapoints are tensor subclasses which the :mod:`~torchvision.transforms.v2` v2 transforms use under the hood to
+dispatch their inputs to the appropriate lower-level kernels. Most users do not
+need to manipulate datapoints directly and can simply rely on dataset wrapping -
+see e.g. :ref:`sphx_glr_auto_examples_plot_transforms_v2_e2e.py`.

+    Beware, some of these conversion transforms below will scale the values
+    while performing the conversion, while some may not do any scaling. By
