+ <p><app>Tomboy</app> can synchronize your notes between multiple
+ computers. This allows you to have a backup of your notes on another
+ computer of share your notes between computers so you always have
+ access to your notes.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>You can enable sync by opening <gui>Tomboy Preferences</gui> by
+ using your mouse to right click on the Tomboy icon in your panel,
+ taskbar or dock and choose <gui>Preferences</gui> and then select
+ the <gui>Synchronization</gui> tab. You can also open <gui> Tomboy
+ Preferences</gui> from the <gui>Search All Notes</gui> dialog. From
+ the menu choose <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui>

+ <title>Managing Note conflict when syncing</title>
+
+ <p>You can set the default behavior for Tomboy when
+ a note is discovered to be a conflict. This can occur
+ when notes are not synced on a regular basis.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>In the <gui>Preferences</gui> dialog press the <gui>Advanced</gui>
+ button. You can select from three choices as the default behavior
+ in managing conflicts:
+ </p>
+
+ <list>
+ <li><p><gui>Always ask me what to do.</gui> This is the default
+ choice and when Tomboy encounters a conflict Tomboy will
+ always prompt you to ask you if you want to rename the local
+ note or replace your local note with the note the server has
+ stored.</p></li>
+ <li><p><gui>Rename my local note.</gui> If this option is
+ selected, Tomboy will automatically replace the note with a
+ copy from the remote computer and rename the note on your
+ computer so you don't lose your information in your note.</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li><p><gui>Replace my local note with the server's update.
+ </gui>. If you have selected this option, when you sync
+ Tomboy will overwrite and replace your note stored on your
+ computer with a copy from the remote computer.</p></li>
+
+ <note style="tip">
+ <p>Automatically overwriting the note is permanent. Your
+ local note will be replaced by the copy on the remote
+ computer and you will lose your information that was
+ stored prior to syncing. </p>
