  In the top part of the screen, all locally available storage devices (SATA, IDE and SCSI hard drives, USB flash drives, etc.) are displayed in the `Local Standard Disks` section. Local disks are detected when the installer starts - any storage devices connected after the installation has started will not be shown.

  

- If you need to configure additional local storage devices, select `I will configure partitioning` and press `Done` to move to xref:Installing_Using_Anaconda.adoc#sect-installation-gui-manual-partitioning[Manual Partitioning]. Then, connect any new hard drives you want to make available during the installation, and press the button marked by a circular arrow in the set of controls below the list of mount points on the left side of the screen. In the dialog window that opens, press `Rescan Disks` and wait until the scanning process completes. Then, press `OK` to return to xref:install/Installing_Using_Anaconda.adoc#sect-installation-gui-storage-partitioning[Installation Destination]; all detected disks including any new ones will be displayed in the `Local Standard Disks` section.

+ If you need to configure additional local storage devices, select `Refresh` on the lower-right corner. Follow the instructions in the dialog that opens. All detected disks, including any new ones, will be displayed in the `Local Standard Disks` section.

  

  The `Specialized & Network Disks` section below shows advanced network storage (such as iSCSI and FCoE disks) currently configured. When you first open this screen, no such devices will be displayed because they can not be automatically detected; to search for network storage devices, press `Add a disk` button and proceed with xref:Installing_Using_Anaconda.adoc#sect-installation-gui-installation-destination[Installation Destination - Specialized & Network Disks]. Any network storage you configure will then show up in the `Specialized & Network Disks` the same way local disks are shown above.

+ After you select all disks you want to install {PRODUCT}, select one of the three options in the `Storage Configuration` section:

  

- * `Automatically configure partitioning` - If this option is selected, then after you press `Done` in the top left corner of the screen, the installer will determine the total amount of space on all selected disks, and it will create a _Logical Volume Management_ (LVM) layout suitable for your system. The specifics of this layout depend on whether your system uses BIOS or UEFI firmware, the total amount of free space on your disks, and the amount of RAM on your system (which determines the size of your swap space).

+ * `Automatic` - If this option is selected, then after you press `Done` in the top left corner of the screen, the installer will determine the total amount of space on all selected disks, and it will create a _Logical Volume Management_ (LVM) layout suitable for your system. The specifics of this layout depend on whether your system uses BIOS or UEFI firmware, the total amount of free space on your disks, and the amount of RAM on your system (which determines the size of your swap space).

  With automatic partitioning, you can also select the `I would like to make additional space available` option below. Use this option if you want to reclaim space from an existing partitioning layout - for example, if a disk you want to use already contains a different operating system, and you want to make this system's partitions smaller to allow more room for {PRODUCT}. The `Reclaim space` dialog which opens if this option is selected is described later in this section.

  

- * `I will configure partitioning` - Select this option and press `Done` in the top left corner of the screen to configure your system's partitioning layout manually. This requires some knowledge of the theory behind disk partitions and related concepts, but gives you full control over the way the system will be installed. For instructions for manual partitioning, see xref:Installing_Using_Anaconda.adoc#sect-installation-gui-manual-partitioning[Manual Partitioning].

+ * `Custom` - Select this option and press `Done` in the top left corner of the screen to configure your system's partitioning layout semi-manually. This requires some knowledge of the theory behind disk partitions and related concepts, but provides recommendations over the way the system will be installed. For instructions for Custom partitioning, see xref:Installing_Using_Anaconda.adoc#sect-installation-gui-manual-partitioning[Manual Partitioning].

+ 

+ * `Advanced-Custom (Blivet-GUI)` - Select this option and press `Done` in the top left corner of the screen to configure your system's partitioning completely manually. This requires advanced knowledge of the theory behind disk partitions and related concepts. There are no guardrails.

  

  Additionally, you can select `Encrypt my data`pass:attributes[{blank}]; this will encrypt all partitions except the ones needed to boot the system (such as `/boot`) using _Linux Unified Key Setup_ (LUKS). Encrypting your hard drive is recommended. For detailed information about LUKS encryption, see the [citetitle]_{PRODUCT} Security{nbsp}Guide_, available at link:++https://docs.fedoraproject.org/++[].

These updates are prompted by Btrfs by default for F33 desktops; but don't take it into account. Instead, minimally update the Installation Destination section to Fedora 33 screenshots and terminology.

Great! Thank you for the updates, @chrismurphy. For now they should show up in the Rawhide version of the Install Guide, and carry over to version F33 when it's published and then to subsequent versions.
