One of my sons gave me QB via Steam as a birthday present. I have downloaded it and find the scenarios appear among the Waterloo Battles.
My question is whether there is any documentation or a readme file to tell me if there are any new features in QB? If there is documentation where can I find it?
Regards
Mike

The new features for QB were the new map, OOB and scenarios. The new map and oob will show up in your sandbox battle menu as well. There was also a patch released simultaneously with QB but if you have Waterloo on Steam you already got that - there will be a changelog in your game folder listing the additions there.
Some of the changes were
- Added new slider Toolbar for player feedback (mod menu)
- Added the 'targeting' logic for cavalry squadrons (see slider toolbar)
- Improved Hannover flags added.
- Removed the ability for cavalry to capture and bring enemy guns into action.
- Removed auto-run reaction of troops under fire.
- Increased melee penalty for skirmishers.
- Skirmishers now fall back at shorter distance from nearest enemy if supported.
- Improved control of TC units when near the enemy and under fire.
- Improved Cavalry and Infantry Square logic and dynamics.
- Improved brigade command AI.
- Reactivated cavalry orders in courier menu.
- Added new battle statistics screen on 'end of battle' screen.
- Improved AI stances when stationary and when at long range from the enemy.
- Historical variant adjustments for WL10 and WL20
Plus plenty of modding improvements and bug fixes.

Thanks Con20or
I guess it must have updated itself without my noticing a few months ago. Is there a screen in the game which shows what version you are using?
