-There's quite a few options to change, but once we've done it for one command,

-For the *Script* input (**A**), navigate to your project's virtual environment.
-Within that folder, pick the ``flask`` executable which will reside in the
-``bin`` folder, or in the ``Scripts`` on Windows.
+Click the + (*Add New Configuration*) button and select *Python*. Give
+the configuration a good descriptive name such as "Run Flask Server".
+For the ``flask run`` command, check "Single instance only" since you
+can't run the server more than once at the same time.
 
-The *Script Parameter* field (**B**) is set to the CLI command you to execute.
-In this example we use ``run``, which will run the development server.
+Select *Module name* from the dropdown (**A**) then input ``flask``.
 
-You can skip this next step if you're using :ref:`dotenv`. We need to add an
-environment variable (**C**) to identify our application. Click on the browse
-button and add an entry with ``FLASK_APP`` on the left and the name of the
-Python file or package on the right (``app.py`` for example).
+The *Parameters* field (**B**) is set to the CLI command to execute
+(with any arguments). In this example we use ``run``, which will run
+the development server.
 
-Next we need to set the working directory (**D**) to be the same folder where
-our application file or package resides. PyCharm changed it to the directory
-with the ``flask`` executable when we selected it earlier, which is incorrect.
+You can skip this next step if you're using :ref:`dotenv`. We need to
+add an environment variable (**C**) to identify our application. Click
+on the browse button and add an entry with ``FLASK_APP`` on the left and
+the Python import or file on the right (``hello`` for example).
 
-Finally, untick the *PYTHONPATH* options (**E**) and give the configuration a
-good descriptive name, such as "Run Flask Server", and click *Apply*.
+Next we need to set the working directory (**D**) to be the folder where
+our application resides.
 
-Now that we have a configuration which runs ``flask run`` from within PyCharm,
-we can simply copy that configuration and alter the *Script* argument
+If you have installed your project as a package in your virtualenv, you
+may untick the *PYTHONPATH* options (**E**). This will more accurately
+match how you deploy the app later.
+
+Click *Apply* to save the configuration, or *OK* to save and close the
+window. Select the configuration in the main PyCharm window and click
+the play button next to it to run the server.
+
+Now that we have a configuration which runs ``flask run`` from within
+PyCharm, we can copy that configuration and alter the *Script* argument
 to run a different CLI command, e.g. ``flask shell``.
