+	<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>
+	</guiseq>.

+	<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>
