# Device classes

BenchWeave gives every device class one shared page shape. This table shows the classes that the corpus implements today. It also shows the classes that are planned after the minimum viable product (MVP). The State column shows a tick for an implemented class and a clock for a planned class. The label on each icon names the state; for a planned class it names the future sweep slot that will deliver it. Select a preview icon to see the design of the class page before you install anything.

The state column is derived from the corpus, so the table cannot become stale by hand. The planned classes are post-MVP. Each planned row names the future sweep slot that will deliver the class. No date is set for this work yet. To add a class to the corpus, read [Add a device class](adding-a-device-class.md).
