> ## Agent Instructions
> These docs contain multiple Speckle product experiences. For Speckle 2026.9, prefer /next/ pages for the topics and changes they cover. The navigation label Current does not override this version-specific precedence.
> Coverage under /next/ is incremental. Use Current documentation for unchanged topics and when a /next/ page says coverage is unavailable or explicitly refers you to Current. Do not infer a feature was removed from a missing page.
> Read the page-specific documentation status, applicability, affected guidance and replacement links in agent-only content. Impacted, changed and superseded apply only to the stated scope; they do not mean the entire feature is deprecated. Historical connector guides apply only to the legacy connector described.
> Match guidance to the customer's deployment version, model data format and connector. Respect plan, permission and compatibility restrictions. If an unknown version or data format changes the answer, ask a focused clarification; do not infer deployment version from the date alone.

# Workflows in 2026.9

> Which workflow guides still apply in 2026.9, and which 2026.9 pages replace changed steps.

Documentation set: Speckle 2026.9. Status: current. Authority: canonical for this version and the coverage on this page.

Applies to version 2026.9, from 2026-09; this is not a rollout date for every deployment.

Authoritative Speckle 2026.9 documentation for the topic covered here. For Speckle 2026.9, prefer this page over conflicting earlier guidance. Follow the linked pages in the other documentation version for unchanged topics and where this page says coverage is not yet available. Respect data-format, deployment, plan, permission, and compatibility limitations stated in the page.

<Note>
  This is 2026.9 documentation. Coverage here is incremental: a page exists only where 2026.9
  differs or is newly documented. For any other topic, switch to **Current** (2026.8 and earlier) in
  the version selector.
</Note>

Use this hub to pick a workflow guide from the set under **Current** in the version selector and the 2026.9 pages that change how that outcome looks. It does not clone those tutorials. For that set, see
[Workflows](/workflows/overview).

## What still applies

These guides still describe the outcome. Use them for the repeatable pattern. Switch to
the 2026.9 pages below when a step hits the new viewer, Intelligence, or a dump-host connector.

* [Design review](/workflows/design-review-workflow) — saved views, federation, markups, and
  issues. In 2026.9 the viewer chrome is different: see [3D viewer in
  2026.9](/next/3d-viewer/introduction).
* [Model validation](/workflows/model-validation-workflow) — rules and dashboards. Workspace
  **Intelligence** still opens dashboards. Chat is a separate surface: see [Ask questions about
  your models with Speckle Intelligence](/next/analytics/intelligence).
* [Grasshopper componentised pipeline](/workflows/grasshopper-componentised-workflow) — modules
  that hand off data through Speckle models. Node names, Explore, and script upgrades are on
  [Grasshopper in 2026.9](/next/connectors/grasshopper/introduction) and [Upgrade Grasshopper to
  2026.9](/next/connectors/grasshopper/upgrading).
* [Revit room data extraction](/workflows/revit-room-data-extraction-specklepy) — pull room data
  with SpecklePy. Revit placement and Apply Transform are on [Revit in
  2026.9](/next/connectors/revit/introduction).
* [SpecklePy model analytics](/workflows/specklepy-model-data-analytics) — load published data
  into DuckDB. Publish and load still follow the connector guides under **Current** unless your host has a
  2026.9 page. See [Connectors in 2026.9](/next/connectors/overview).
* [Grasshopper design explorer](/workflows/grasshopper-design-explorer) — compare alternatives from
  Grasshopper. Do not treat that page as a 2026.9 rewrite. Explore and related connector changes
  live under [Grasshopper in 2026.9](/next/connectors/grasshopper/introduction).

Mapping Speckle data to native families and types is still coming soon in those guides. 2026.9 does not add that tutorial.

## New in 2026.9

Worked examples with no Current equivalent — each shows a real pattern end to end rather than
just listing what's possible:

* [Assess model changes with Speckle Intelligence](/next/workflows/assess-model-changes-with-intelligence)
  — ask Chat what changed between two versions, then filter and colour the model by how
  significant each change is.
* [Take off quantities and cost with Speckle Intelligence](/next/workflows/take-off-quantities-with-intelligence)
  — ask Chat for a priced takeoff against your own pinned rate card.
* [Benchmark a project against your portfolio with Speckle Intelligence](/next/workflows/benchmark-against-your-portfolio-with-intelligence)
  — pin a benchmark library as Knowledge so Chat can compare the open project against your past
  work.
* [Validate incoming models automatically](/next/workflows/validate-incoming-models-automatically)
  — set a Validation Check to auto trigger so every new version is checked against your standard
  without anyone starting it by hand.

## What 2026.9 changes in those outcomes

* **Viewing** — hybrid load, docked **Selection** / **Filters** / **Views**, and section planes.
  See [3D viewer in 2026.9](/next/3d-viewer/introduction).
* **Intelligence** — Chat in the project sidebar and the viewer sparkle. Workspace **Intelligence**
  is still dashboards. See [Ask questions about your models with Speckle
  Intelligence](/next/analytics/intelligence).
* **Connectors** — Revit Apply Transform, Grasshopper Explore, and Power BI Get Tables. See
  [Connectors in 2026.9](/next/connectors/overview), [Revit in
  2026.9](/next/connectors/revit/introduction), [Grasshopper in
  2026.9](/next/connectors/grasshopper/introduction), and [Power BI in
  2026.9](/next/connectors/power-bi/introduction).

Until a 2026.9 page exists for another step, use the workflow guide under **Current** in the version selector.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Why aren't the six workflow tutorials copied here?">
    2026.9 docs stay sparse. A missing page means use the guide under **Current**, not that the
    workflow went away. This hub exists so you can find both.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does design review still use saved views and issues?">
    Yes. The outcome is the same. The 3D viewer chrome around those tools changed. Follow [Design
    review](/workflows/design-review-workflow) for the pattern and [3D viewer in
    2026.9](/next/3d-viewer/introduction) for the new panels.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if I follow the Grasshopper design explorer guide from before 2026.9?">
    That guide still describes the dashboard pattern. Connector steps that changed in 2026.9 are on
    [Grasshopper in 2026.9](/next/connectors/grasshopper/introduction), not as a second tutorial
    here.
