6.0.0
Welcome to the v6.0.0 release of the Opentrons App! This release focuses on a visual redesign of the app that offers more ways to manage protocols even when you're not connected to a robot.
This release also includes updates to the robot operating system, so be sure to update any OT-2s before running protocols with this version of the app.
New Features
- Updated design: A more polished and modern design, built around the new, always-accessible Protocols, Labware, and Devices sections.
- Protocols section
- Import multiple protocols and manage them all in one place.
- In-app protocol analysis lets you import Python and JSON protocol files without connecting to a robot.
- View deck setup, required hardware, and protocol metadata — before, during, or after a run.
- Labware section
- Browse labware definitions from the Opentrons Labware Library right in the app.
- Import custom labware and manage it alongside standard labware.
- Devices section
- New view for currently available and recently connected robots.
- See recently run protocols on a robot, including those run from other computers.
- Run a protocol directly from the robot details page.
- Easily change a robot's name from the new robot settings page.
Improved features
- Labware Position Check
- When re-running a protocol, the app will now automatically recommend stored Labware Offset data (from the last 20 runs on that robot) that applies to the same labware and deck slot.
- When running Labware Position Check, you will see live offset values as you jog the pipette.
