Without a specific improvement mentioned this feels hand wavy.

From our earlier Slack conversation, and other investigations, we have this version to use or modify:
Improvements to the Flex error recovery feature help protocols recover from detected stalls and collisions, saving you valuable time and resources.

It was a special case to provide a specific note for alpha.0. That note is now enshrined forever in that build and you have folded it into the 8.3.0 notes so we can set the section header as the stable.
Same is true for the other file.

Want to be consistent with the " character and not use “ or ” I don't think.

For this pipette, we should remove the quote marks. Also, "FLEX" should be "Flex."

re: previous comments:
- Use proper noun/name Flex instead of FLEX
- No quotes around pipette name

DO NOT MERGE

@y3rsh will need to do final fixup on this on 1/2 due to some git shenanigans per 8.3.0-alpha.0 being special. So even if these are in shape before 1/2 do not merge. Added that label. |
