Upload Modules
You can upload a pre-existing module or custom modules from an individual flow. 
Module files contain a collection of nodes that can be uploaded simultaneously to the Flow canvas. 
Important: 
Make sure the module file you upload contains all dependencies. 
If your custom node modules are version specific, make sure they work with nodejs 10.16.3.
If custom node modules have any binding or require C/C++ compilation, the upload may not work.
To upload modules: 
In your project directory, create a folder named node_modules. 
Add the nodes files you want included in the node_modules folder. 
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.  
In Litmus Edge, navigate to Flows Manager. 
Click the Upload Modules icon for the flows manager you want to update. 
Select the ZIP file of the folder you compressed and select Open. 
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.
