(notes): PD 8.7.0 release notes (#20192)
# Overview adding PD 8.7.0 release notes. few bugs/tickets I _didn't_ add yet but thought about it (either not ready yet or probably not important enough: - https://opentrons.atlassian.net/browse/AUTH-2357 (users should already see this modal if working properly?) - https://opentrons.atlassian.net/browse/AUTH-2474 (users already couldn't do this, as far as I know) - maybe worth a bug fix mention when it's ready: https://opentrons.atlassian.net/browse/AUTH-2511 ## Test Plan and Hands on Testing ## Changelog ## Review requests did I cover all the tip selection changes/options? are there any lid stacking changes I'm missing? I know there's been some updates but not sure what of this is user-facing. ## Risk assessment low.

## Opentrons Protocol Designer Changes in 8.7.0
12+
13+
**Welcome to Protocol Designer 8.7.0!**
14+
15+
This release adds support for manual tip selection and camera steps in Protocol Designer, and includes feature improvements and bug fixes.
16+
17+
### New Features
18+
19+
- Choose between automatic and manual tip tracking for transfer and mix steps in your protocols. In manual tip tracking, Protocol Designer lets you select the tip rack and individual tips the pipette will pick up to transfer or mix liquid.
20+
- Manual tip tracking in Protocol Designer enables reusing tips more than once in a protocol.
21+
- Add a camera step in any Protocol Designer protocol. The Flex or OT-2's built-in camera can take a still image of your robot deck at any point during the protocol. Access your images in the Recent Protocol Runs section of the Opentrons App's robot details page.
22+
23+
### Improved Features
24+
25+
- Protocol Designer only shows compatible deck and labware locations to move a lid to.
26+
- Add Opentrons Tough Universal Lids to an available Opentrons Flex Deck Riser placed on the deck.
27+
- Move a tip rack lid to any tip rack on the deck without a lid.
28+
- When adding labware, click to add a tip rack lid to a Flex 96-channel tip rack adapter with a tip rack inside.
29+
- When you click **Duplicate labware**, Protocol Designer duplicates all labware, adapters, lids, and liquids in the deck slot.
30+
31+
### Bug Fixes
32+
33+
- Protocol Designer updates maximum flow rates to the latest version when you import an older protocol.
