The Nodes app is split into three main sections, accessed through the side bar.
They are shortly discussed below, and presented further in-depth in the following subchapters:
and your Profile 
Explore 
Explore provides an overview of published Nodes: those most recently published as well as a curated selection of popular or impactful Nodes published by others.
More information on the Explore page features is found here: Explore
In development: Node Curation In the future, you will be able to subscribe to certain Communities, or Nodes curation groups, that will present a selection of their favourite nodes, curated according to their own principles.
For example Nodes that use particularly FAIR data, high quality Node publications in a particular field, or Node publications that have particularly interesting new ideas that challenge the status-quo.
These will be shown on the Explore page - giving you the option to tailor your Explore page to your interests.
Node 
If you click on any Node - visible on your Profile for your own Nodes, or presented in the Explore page for those of others - you will be brought to the Node Workspace. This is where the action happens. The Node workspace has three main spaces, as well as a navigation bar across the top:
the Node Drive Panel in the lefthand panel: including an overview of the uploaded components (Drive) and contributors (Contributors).
the Viewerin the middle: for (pre)viewing file components such as manuscripts (PDFs), data and code - with options to make comments (and, in the future, edits on your owned & collaborated Nodes) to the viewed components.
The Information Panel in the righthand panel: giving you metadata information on the component selected in the drive (and viewed in the reader space), or the possibility to perform actions on these components. Here, you can copy (or in the future even compute) code, or export a citation from a published PDF in a number of different citation formats.
