    Split power-suspendhibernate, add power-off
    
    Replace power-suspendhibernate.page with power-suspend.page and
    power-hibernate.page because the user cannot hibernate since 3.0. Add
    power-off.page because it is not obvious how to power off.

+<title>What happens when I hibernate my computer?</title>
+
+<p>When the computer <em>hibernates</em>, all of your applications and
+documents are stored and the computer completely switches off so it does not
+use any power, but the applications and documents will still be open when you
+switch on the computer again. You cannot hibernate the computer yourself, but you can set <gui>Hybernate</gui> as the default action for when your computer battery is critically low:</p>
+<steps>
+  <item>
+    <p>Click your name on the top bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui></p>
+  </item>
+  <item>
+    <p>Open <gui>Network</gui> and select the <gui>Power</gui> tab</p>
+  </item>
+  <item>
+    <p>Change the <gui>When power is critically low</gui> option to <gui>Hibernate</gui></p>
+  </item>
+</steps>
+
+<p>Some computers have problems with hardware support which mean that they

+  <p>You should save all of your work before hibernating the computer, just in

+<p>When you <em>suspend</em> the computer, you send it to sleep. All of your
+applications and documents remain open, but the screen and other parts of the
+computer switch off to save power. The computer is still switched on though,
+and it will still be using a small amount of power. You can wake it up by
+pressing a key or clicking the mouse. If that does not work, try pressing the
+power button.</p>
+
+<p>Some computers have problems with hardware support which mean that they
+<link xref="power-suspendfail">may not be able to suspend or hibernate
+properly</link>. It is a good idea to test suspend on your computer to see if
+it does work before relying on it.</p>
+
+<note style="important">
+  <title>Always save your work before suspending</title>
+  <p>You should save all of your work before suspending the computer, just in
+  case something goes wrong and your open applications and documents cannot be
+  recovered when you resume the computer again.</p>
