 Now that you've learned about each query plan node, take another look at the example query plan in [Example graph](#example-graph) to see how these nodes work together in a complete query plan.
 
+### Defer node
+
+A `Defer` node corresponds to one or more `@defer`s at the same level of nesting in the query plan.
+
+The node contains a _primary block_ and an array of _deferred blocks_. The primary block represents the part of the query that isn't deferred. Each deferred block corresponds to the one deferred part of the query.
+
+Read more about how `@defer` works in the [Apollo Router support for @defer article](/router/executing-operations/defer-support/).
+
+```graphql
+QueryPlan {
+  Defer {
+    Primary {
+      Fetch(...) {}
+    }, [
+      Deferred(...) {
+        Flatten(...) {
+          Fetch(...) {}
+        }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Condition nodes
+
+A `Skip` or `Include` node splits a query plan into an if-else branch. Condition nodes are used when an operation contains a `@skip` or `@include` directive so the query plan can select different nodes based on the provided runtime variables.
+
+```graphql
+QueryPlan {
+  Sequence {
+    Fetch(...) {}
+    Include(...) {
+      Flatten(...) {
+        Fetch(...) { }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+```graphql
+QueryPlan {
+  Sequence {
+    Fetch(...) {}
+    Skip(...) {
+      Flatten(...) {
+        Fetch(...) { }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}

 ## Viewing query plans
 
 You can view the query plan for a particular operation in any of the following ways:
