- In the Flongle branch of the protocol, "Loading the Flongle flow cell" step, an amendment has been made to step 8: "Loading Beads II (LBII) mixed immediately before use, or Loading Solution (LS), if using. LS can be used instead of LBII when preparing libraries with the Ligation Sequencing Kit (SQK-LSK110)"
- In "Equipment and consumables", an error has been corrected - the new text now says "We recommend starting with 1 µg (or 100-200 fmol) Lambda DNA for R9.4.1 flow cells. For R10.3, load 1.5-3 µg (or 150-300 fmol)."

In the Flongle branch of the protocol:
- "Equipment and consumables", "DNA repair and end-prep" and "Loading the Flongle flow cell" steps: added additional information about flow cell deterioration/saturation, and updated the Flongle Sequencing Expansion information to mention Loading Solution (LS) and reduction of flow cell deterioration when storing components in glass vials instead of plastic
- "Adapter ligation and clean-up" step: updated the loading recommendations to "Following standard input recommendations, the protocol should produce enough final library (adapted DNA in EB) to load at least two Flongle flow cells. We recommend reserving enough library to load a second Flongle flow cell. We recommend loading 3-20 fmol of this final prepared library onto the flow cell. Loading more than 50 fmol can have a detrimental effect on throughput. Dilute the library in EB or nuclease free water up to a final volume of 5 μl."
- "Loading the Flongle flow cell" step: added the warning "ALWAYS wear gloves when handling Flongle flow cells and adapters to avoid damage to the flow cell or adapter."
