Mingle now comes with all the help documentation packaged
For when you don't have access to online help, Mingle now comes with the exact same help as you will find online on our site.
Please note though, that the online help will be updated on a fairly regular basis, and so will be more up-to-date than the packaged help. But you can still use the packaged help as a fallback mechanism for when internet access is not available.
You can access your local help at http://your.mingle.instance:port/help/index.html
