The primary form of official documentation for Tinderbox is the Tinderbox Manual (the app's macOS HTML Help). This also includes the Release Notes (pre-v6 these were a separate TBX file). The Manual is accessed from the Help menu.
Eastgate offers user-to-user help via the Tinderbox forum (https://forum.eastgate.com). This resource, 'aTbRef' also available online at https://www.acrobatfaq.com/atbref9/index.html, although it should be noted it is not an official Eastgate resource.
Other Eastgate resources:
- Tinderbox website (https://www.eastgate.com/Tinderbox/)
- Tinderbox user-to-user forum (https://forum.eastgate.com/). NOTE: this is not Tinderbox's official tech support (see below), which should be a first port of call for urgent technical issues.
- Tinderbox's official tech support (info@eastgate.com). This is generally a faster way of accessing technical helps then using the forum.

If it is necessary to obtain downloads of Tinderbox versions other than the current one, e.g. because the user has not extended their licence, then use https://www.eastgate.com/download/ and select the DMG file for the appropriate version.
