- Google account or Workspace with Google Sheets access

## Benefits and outcomes
- Saves time on manual parsing and analysis of nodes
- Centralized repository of all available node information
- Enables tracking of changes across versions
- Supports documentation and component audit processes
- Easy integration into CI/CD or periodic audits
