More help and support
There are multiple locations inside and outside the ThoughtSpot application where you can get more help. This page describes several ways to get more help inside or outside the application interface.
ThoughtSpot documentation
Each version of ThoughtSpot has its own documentation set.
ThoughtSpot releases new documentation sets for every major release version (x.y or x.y.0.sw) of ThoughtSpot.
Documentation features added with minor versions (x.y.z or x.y.z.sw) are added to the corresponding major release.
This means, for example, that new documentation for the 6.0.1 minor release version appears in the 6.0 major version documentation.
ThoughtSpot supplies release notes for every major release and every minor release version (x.y.z).
