+### Node content in Overlays
+
+If you are adding a node you need to specify all attributes required for that node type.
+If you are changing an existing node you typically only need to specify name and what is changed,
+like in the `Vehicle.Speed` example below.
+Vss-tools will then look up the node name and reuse existing definitions.
+An exception is if you are changing a node for a particular instance.
+In that case you need to give `type`and `datatype`even if they are not changed,
+as the lookup mechanism currently cannot extract them from the existing definition.
