# 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.

# 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 dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
