# Manual Upgrade

NextSeq 1000/2000 Integration v2.6.0 supports future ICA services and includes new custom fields and modifications to existing automations. The integration package requires the NextSeq 1000/2000 Sequencing v2.5 workflow. You can install this workflow through the Illumina Preset Protocols (IPP). If you do not want to upgrade through the IPP, you can manually upgrade the workflow configuration.

## Modify the Existing NextSeq 1000/2000 Workflow

To modify the existing NextSeq 1000/2000 Sequencing v2.4 workflow, you must make the following changes:

* Modify the Automated - Sequencing Run (NextSeq 1000/2000 Sequencing v2.4) master step and step including run metrics displayed.

1. On the configuration tab, select **Custom Fields**.
2. Select **Global Fields**.
3. Expand **Container**.
4. Add **% Occupied** field as specified in the image.

5. On the configuration tab, select **Lab Work**.
6. Select **AUTOMATED - Sequencing Run (NextSeq 1000/2000 Sequencing v2.4)** step.
7. Under Record Details, add **% Occupied** to Table Columns.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.bioinsight.illumina.com/clarity-lims/instruments-and-integrations/nextseq1k2k/nextseq1k2k-v2.6.0/nextseq1k2k-v2.6.0-manual-upgrade.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
