In your project directory, create a folder named `node_modules`. 2. Add the nodes files you want included in the `node_modules` folder. 3. Compress the `node_modules` folder into a ZIP file. To create the ZIP file, you can right-click the folder in *Windows File Explorer*, and then select **Send to **> **Compressed (zipped) folder**. 4. In Manufacturing Connect Edge, navigate to **Flows Manager**. 5. Click the **Upload Modules** icon for the flows manager you want to update. 6. Select the ZIP file of the folder you compressed and select **Open**. 7. After the upload, stop and start the flows manager to implement the changes. If you don't see the expected new nodes after uploading and then stopping/starting, check the flow log to troubleshoot the issue.
