    <title>About synchronization</title>
    <p><app>Gnote</app> lets you synchronize notes across multiple machines, so that you can use it on multiple devices and work with the same notes on all of them.</p>
    <p>In order to use synchronization, you have to configure it first in the <app>Gnote</app> configuration dialog.</p>
    <p>Notes are synchronized to one location, common to all <app>Gnote</app> installations. This location stores the history of your notes. When synchronizing, each <app>Gnote</app> instance uploads new and updated notes to this location, and downloads new and updated notes from other installations. The synchronization location also contains information on deleted notes: when synchronizing, <app>Gnote</app> publishes all deleted notes and deletes the ones that have been published as such. This way multiple <app>Gnote</app> installations can keep the same set of notes.</p>

    <p>To synchronize, click the menu button in main window and then select <gui>Synchronize Notes</gui> from the menu. This item is only available if synchronization has been configured.</p>
    <p>After you select the <gui>Synchronize Notes</gui> menu item, a progress dialog will be displayed, which will let you know when synchronization is complete. Also, all notes will be disabled for editing while synchronization is in progress.</p>
