# Editing a published Node
Knowledge is dynamic, and your Nodes should reflect that. You can always make changes to your Nodes, even once they are published. This works exactly like creating a Node from scratch.
From your [General user overview](/general-user-overview.md#collection), select the published Node you want to update. As the creator, your Nodes will always open up in edit mode for you (unless you log out and open it via a public share link).
From here, open up the [Node Drive Panel](/general-user-overview/node-workspace/node-drive-panel.md) by clicking 
in the top left corner or use the [Information Panel](/general-user-overview/node-workspace/information-panel.md) 
in the upper right corner to make adjustments to your Node. Now you can [add components](/create-and-publish/create-a-node/add-components.md), [change component titles](/create-and-publish/create-a-node/organise-access-and-present/component-presentation/renaming-components.md), and [annotate your Node](/create-and-publish/create-a-node/add-information/add-comments.md).

## 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/publish/update-your-node/editing-a-published-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.
