== Documentation ==

FreeMind comes with the documentation in the form of mind map, available from application menu ''Help > Documentation''.  The documentation is a succint description of FreeMind functions, rather than a mind mapping text book. 
You can also browse the documentation now <mm>[[:Freemind.mm|applet|in a Java applet browser]]</mm> (with around 700 KB that requires Java 1.4.2 or later) which gives you a proper FreeMind feeling. And you can <mm>[[:FreemindFlash.mm|flash|try a much smaller flash based FreeMind map viewer]]</mm>.

A similar documentation is also available in the form similar to Windows help, in application menu ''Help > Help''. Also useful is the page [[Asked Questions]] in this website, also known as FAQ.
