+ <title>Import and export keys</title>
+
+ <p>If you have received a key file by e mail, you might want to import it
+ into <app>Passwords and Keys</app>. You can also export the existing keys in
+ <app>Passwords and Keys</app> and email them to the people you communicate
+ with.</p>
+
+<section id="import">
+ <title>Import your keys</title>
+
+ <p>In most cases, <app>Passwords and Keys</app> automatically imports SSH
+ and PGP keys from your computer. You can also manually import a particular
+ key, if it has not been imported already.</p>
+
+ <steps>
+ <title>How do I manually import a key?</title>
+ <item>
+ <p>Select
+ <guiseq><gui style="menu">File</gui><gui>Import…</gui></guiseq>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>In the new dialog that opens up, select the folder in which your
+ key is stored, and click <gui style="button">Open</gui>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Select the key of your choice from the folder chosen in the
+ previous step. Pgp keys end with <file>pgp</file> and gpg keys end with
+ <file>gpg</file>, SSH <em>Public keys</em> may end with
+ <file>.pub</file>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Click <gui style="button">Open</gui>.</p>
+ </item>
+ </steps>
+
+ <p>Newly created keys are automatically grouped according to their type. So,
+ <file>SSH</file> keys are stored in the <file>OpenSSH keys</file> keyring,
+ <file>PGP</file> and <file>GPG</file> keys are stored in the
+ <file>GnuPG keys</file> keyring, etc. To view all your keyrings, select,
+ <guiseq><gui style="menu">View</gui>
+ <gui style="menuitem">By keyring</gui></guiseq>.</p>
