# Overview
Our available workstation configurations can fluctuate over time. This
PR simplifies the description of our workstations and directs readers to
look for themselves so this section never gets "stale."
<!--
Describe your PR at a high level. State acceptance criteria and how this
PR fits into other work. Link issues, PRs, and other relevant resources.
-->
## Test Plan and Hands on Testing
<!--
Describe your testing of the PR. Emphasize testing not reflected in the
code. Attach protocols, logs, screenshots and any other assets that
support your testing.
-->
## Changelog
<!--
List changes introduced by this PR considering future developers and the
end user. Give careful thought and clear documentation to breaking
changes.
-->
## Review requests
<!--
- What do you need from reviewers to feel confident this PR is ready to
merge?
- Ask questions.
-->
## Risk assessment
low.
<!--
- Indicate the level of attention this PR needs.
- Provide context to guide reviewers.
- Discuss trade-offs, coupling, and side effects.
- Look for the possibility, even if you think it's small, that your
change may affect some other part of the system.
- For instance, changing return tip behavior may also change the
behavior of labware calibration.
- How do your unit tests and on hands on testing mitigate this PR's
risks and the risk of future regressions?
- Especially in high risk PRs, explain how you know your testing is
enough.

Opentrons Flex workstations are pre-configured bundles that include the Flex robot, accessories, pipettes and gripper, on-deck modules, and labware needed to automate a particular application. Because Flex is a modular system, you can easily add or swap hardware and compatible consumables to change applications. See the [workstations section](https://opentrons.com/products/categories/workstations) of the Opentrons website to get started automating steps in next-generation sequencing, proteomics, nucleic acid extraction, and other workflows.
