# Using community nodes

To use community nodes, you first need to [install](/integrations/community-nodes/installation-and-management.md) them.

## Adding community nodes to your workflow <a href="#adding-community-nodes-to-your-workflow" id="adding-community-nodes-to-your-workflow"></a>

After installing a community node, you can use it like any other node. n8n displays the node in search results in the **Nodes** panel. n8n marks community nodes with a **Package** <img src="/files/QoDweRF25xcgzIvoD0IL" alt="Package icon" data-size="line"> icon in the nodes panel.

## Community nodes with duplicate names <a href="#community-nodes-with-duplicate-names" id="community-nodes-with-duplicate-names"></a>

It's possible for several community nodes to have the same name. If you use two nodes with the same name in your workflow, they'll look the same, unless they have different icons.

## 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.n8n.io/integrations/community-nodes/using-community-nodes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
