+<title>Suspend, shut down, or restart.</title>
+
+<p>To save power, turn off your computer when you aren't using it. By default,
+GNOME simply suspends your computer. This saves your state to your computer's
+memory and powers most of your computer's functions. A very small amount of
+power is still used during suspend.</p>
+
+<p>To suspend your computer, click your name on the top bar and select
+<gui>Suspend</gui>. Or, if you have a laptop, simply close the lid. Your
+computer will automatically suspend when the lid is closed.</p>
+
+<p>If you want to power off your computer entirely, or do a full restart,
+click your name on the top bar, then hold down the <key>Alt</key> key.
+The <gui>Suspend</gui> option will change to <gui>Power Off</gui>. Click
+this to choose to power off or restart.</p>
+
+<note><p>If there are other users logged in, you may not be allowed to
+power off or restart the computer, because this will end their sessions.
+If you are an administrative user, you may be asked for your password
+to power off.</p></note>
