How to add a custom node from previous build

Hello, I have some previously created dyf files of custom nodes that I created on previous version of dynamo, but they wont show up in my revit 2024 version even though I placed them in the packages folder. I thought thats all I would have to do. Can someone help me out here please? what am I missing.

The best thing to do is use the Package Manager and publish your own package. You can still publish the package locally if you don’t want to share it, but it will give you more control over how you handle custom nodes and share or update across versions.

DYFs will load directly if you put them in the definitions folder instead of the packages folder.
