### Adding to flows.nodered.org

If all of the packaging requirements are met, the [Node-RED Flow Library](https://flows.nodered.org)
108-
will automatically index your node within a couple of hours. If it does not appear
109-
after that time, you can ask for help on the [Node-RED forum](https://discourse.nodered.org)

or [slack](https://nodered.org/slack).

As of April 2020, the [the Node-RED Flow Library](https://flows.nodered.org)
108+
is no longer able to automatically index and update nodes published on
109+
npm with the `node-red` keyword. Instead, a submission request has to be
110+
placed manually.
111+
112+
To do so, make sure all of the packaging requests are met. To add a new node
113+
to the library, click on the `+` button at the top of
114+
[the library's page](https://flows.nodered.org), and select the 'node' option.
115+
This button takes you to
116+
[the Adding a Node page](https://flows.nodered.org/add/node). Here, the list of
117+
requirements is repeated and describes the steps to have it added to the
118+
library.
119+
120+
To update an existing node, you can either resubmit it the same way as you
121+
would for a new node, or request a refresh from the node's page on the
122+
flow library through the 'request refresh' link. This is only visible to
123+
logged in users.
124+
125+
If it does not appear after that time, you can ask for help on the
126+
[Node-RED forum](https://discourse.nodered.org) or
127+
[slack](https://nodered.org/slack).
