This release adds support for Python protocols with runtime parameters, letting you change the behavior of a protocol each time you run it. + +Note: After updating, the app will prompt you to reanalyze all previously imported protocols. This is a one-time step and should not affect protocol behavior. + +### New Features + +Runtime Parameters + +- Available runtime parameters are shown on the protocol details screen. +- Both the Opentrons App and touchscreen let you enter new parameter values during run setup. +- The app highlights changed parameter values so you can confirm them before starting the run. +- The run preview (before the run) and run log (after the run) reflect changes to steps based on your chosen parameter values. + +Modules in Deck Configuration + +- You can now specify what slots modules occupy on Flex in deck configuration. +- When moving, Flex will avoid modules specified in deck configuration but not loaded in the protocol. +- Deck configuration must be compatible with the protocol's requirements before you start a run. + +### Improved Features + +- Lists of robots are now sorted alphabetically. + +### Removals + +- Removed the "Use older protocol analysis method" advanced setting for OT-2. If you need this type of analysis, use `opentrons_simulate` on the command line. + +### Bug Fixes + +- All run log steps now appear in the same font size. +- The app now properly sends custom labware definitions, along with the corresponding Python protocol, to Flex robots connected via USB. + +--- + ## Opentrons App Changes in 7.2.2 Welcome to the v7.2.2 release of the Opentrons App!
