# New Guides & Tutorials

> New and updated documentation from Wherobots: industry use cases, guides, tutorials, and SQL reference pages

This changelog tracks **new documentation content**: industry use cases, setup guides, tutorials, and SQL reference pages. For platform and product releases, see the [Changelog](/changelog).

<Update label="August 27, 2026" description="Industry Use Cases" tags={["Use Cases", "New Content"]}>
  ### Industry Use Cases portal

  **Spatial Analytics Tutorials** vertical now contains an [Industry Use Cases](/tutorials/use-cases) portal, organized around the business question that you start with rather than the geospatial solution you'll eventually utilize.

  #### What is new

  * **Eight industry pages:** Each covers the recurring spatial questions in that vertical, the output you can expect, and the tutorials that produce it.
  * **Question-first structure:** The [portal index](/tutorials/use-cases) groups every question by industry in one place, so you can scan before picking a tutorial.
  * **Linked to runnable notebooks:** Every question points at an existing example notebook.
