# Create Node
Creating a Node is pretty straightforward.
After you have logged into your account ( [Sign Up & Login](/create-and-publish/sign-up-and-login.md)), hit the plus icon , at the bottom of the icons on the left side bar.
This button will open a new Node page layout where you can start adding all your Node information and components, such as your Node title, data files, licensing, authors, etc. in the centre [Viewer](/general-user-overview/node-workspace/viewer.md)panel as well as the [Node Drive Panel](/general-user-overview/node-workspace/node-drive-panel.md) on the left.
Add a New Node by hitting '+' on the sidebar
You can see a condensed suggestion of how you can start creating a Node in the video below. How you can add different components and further information is given in the rest of the [Create a Node](/create-and-publish/create-a-node.md) section.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.desci.com/create-and-publish/create-a-node/create-node.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
