# Create Node

Creating a Node is pretty straightforward.&#x20;

After you have logged into your account ( [Sign Up & Login](/create-and-publish/sign-up-and-login.md)), hit the plus icon <img src="/files/eO6mP0A5AUi4GC8QRNaZ" alt="Screenshot 2024-01-29 at 15.39.34.jpg" data-size="line"> , at the bottom of the icons on the left side bar.&#x20;

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.&#x20;
