> A “how to find out-of-range observations” would be a helpful tutorial I think. There are a lot of ways: just scanning range maps, creating and checking atlases, compare tool, observation search, recent\_taxa, etc. With the opposite potential benefit too: finding cool range expansions.

I put in the beginnings of a tutorial [here](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/how-to-find-out-of-range-observations-wiki/4271). Maybe you could say a bit about how you use the compare tool and recent\_taxa? Those aren’t methods I’ve personally used.
