Lemma 59.104.1. Let $f : X \to Y$ be a morphism of schemes which has a section. Then the functor

\[ \mathop{\mathit{Sh}}\nolimits (Y_{\acute{e}tale}) \longrightarrow \text{descent data for étale sheaves wrt }\{ X \to Y\} \]

sending $\mathcal{G}$ in $\mathop{\mathit{Sh}}\nolimits (Y_{\acute{e}tale})$ to the canonical descent datum is an equivalence of categories.

Proof. This is formal and depends only on functoriality of the pullback functors. We omit the details. Hint: If $s : Y \to X$ is a section, then a quasi-inverse is the functor sending $(\mathcal{F}, \varphi )$ to $s_{small}^{-1}\mathcal{F}$. $\square$
