+ <title>Revoke your subkeys</title>
+
+ <p>If your subkey has been compromised or has remained unused for several
+ days, it might be a good idea to revoke it to prevent misuse of the key.</p>
+
+ <steps>
+ <title>To revoke a subkey:</title>
+ <item>
+ <p><link xref="subkeys-examine">Navigate</link> to the <gui>Subkeys</gui>
+ panel.</p>
+ </item>
+ <!--The above step can be replaced with the following, if it's too vague:
+ <item>
+ <p>Select <gui>GnuPG keys</gui> from the panel on the left.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Right click on the key of your choice and select
+ <guiseq><gui>Properties</gui><gui>Details</gui>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Expand the subkeys panel if required.</p>
+ </item>-->
+ <item>
+ <p>Select the subkey of your choice from the list and press the
+ <gui style="button">Revoke</gui> button.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>In the new dialog, select a reason for revoking the key.
+ Optionally, describe your reason in more detail in the
+ <gui>Description</gui> field.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Press the <gui style="button">Revoke</gui> button.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>You will have to unlock the key with its
+ <link xref="passwords-passphrases">passphrase.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>The <gui>Status</gui> of the subkey changes to <gui>Revoked</gui> in
+ the <gui>Subkeys</gui> panel.</p>
+ </item>
+ </steps>
+
+ <note style="tip">
+ <p>If you have <link xref="pgp-publish">published</link> your subkey, you
+ must <link xref="pgp-sync">synchronize</link> it with the key servers after
+ revoking it to apply the revocation on all copies of the key.</p>
