-    Allows setting external datastores to save data for the
-    `@checkpoint`/`@model`/`@huggingface_hub` decorators.
-    
-    This decorator is useful when users wish to save data to a different datastore
-    than what is configured in Metaflow. This can be for variety of reasons:
-    
-    1. Data security: The objects needs to be stored in a bucket (object storage) that is not accessible by other flows.
-    2. Data Locality: The location where the task is executing is not located in the same region as the datastore.
-        - Example: Metaflow datastore lives in US East, but the task is executing in Finland datacenters.
-    3. Data Lifecycle Policies: The objects need to be archived / managed separately from the Metaflow managed objects.
-        - Example: Flow is training very large models that need to be stored separately and will be deleted more aggressively than the Metaflow managed objects.
-    
-    Usage:
-    ----------
-    
-    - Using a custom IAM role to access the datastore.
-    
-        ```python

-                self.next(self.end)
-    
-        ```
-    
-    - Using credentials to access the s3-compatible datastore.

+    """
+    Allows setting external datastores to save data for the
+    `@checkpoint`/`@model`/`@huggingface_hub` decorators.
+    
+    This decorator is useful when users wish to save data to a different datastore
+    than what is configured in Metaflow. This can be for variety of reasons:
+    
+    1. Data security: The objects needs to be stored in a bucket (object storage) that is not accessible by other flows.
+    2. Data Locality: The location where the task is executing is not located in the same region as the datastore.
+        - Example: Metaflow datastore lives in US East, but the task is executing in Finland datacenters.
+    3. Data Lifecycle Policies: The objects need to be archived / managed separately from the Metaflow managed objects.
+        - Example: Flow is training very large models that need to be stored separately and will be deleted more aggressively than the Metaflow managed objects.
+    
+    Usage:
+    ----------
+    
+    - Using a custom IAM role to access the datastore.
+    
+        ```python
+        @with_artifact_store(
+            type="s3",

+            },
+        )
+        class MyFlow(FlowSpec):
+    
+            @checkpoint
+            @step
+            def start(self):
+                with open("my_file.txt", "w") as f:
+                    f.write("Hello, World!")
+                self.external_bucket_checkpoint = current.checkpoint.save("my_file.txt")
+                self.next(self.end)
+    
+        ```
+    
+    - Using credentials to access the s3-compatible datastore.
+    
+        ```python
+        @with_artifact_store(
+            type="s3",

+            @checkpoint
+            @step
+            def start(self):

+                self.next(self.end)
+    
+        ```
+    
+    - Accessing objects stored in external datastores after task execution.
+    
+        ```python
