More help and support
Each version of ThoughtSpot has its own documentation set.
ThoughtSpot releases new documentation sets for every major release version (x.y) of ThoughtSpot.
Documentation features added with minor versions (x.y.z) 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).
