<p>When you've finished using your computer, you can turn it off, suspend it (to save power),
35
or leave it powered on and just log out.</p>

<title>Log out or switch users</title>
39
<p>To let other users use your computer, you can either log out, or leave
40
yourself logged in and just switch users. If you just switch users, all of
41
your applications will continue running, and everything will be where you
42
left it when you log back in.</p>
43
<p>To log out or switch users, click your name on the top bar and select
44
the appropriate option.</p>

<title>Lock the screen</title>
52
<p>If you're leaving your computer for a short time, you should lock your
53
screen to prevent other people from accessing your files and running
54
applications. When you return, simply enter your password to log back in.
55
If you don't lock your screen, it will lock automatically after a certain

<p>To lock your screen, click your name on the top bar and select
59
<gui>Lock Screen</gui>.</p>
61
<p>When your screen is locked, other users can log in to their own accounts
62
by clicking <gui>Switch User</gui> on the password screen. You can switch
63
back to your desktop when they are finished.</p>

<title>Suspend</title>
72
<p>To save power, suspend your computer when you aren't using it. If you use
73
a laptop, GNOME suspends your computer automatically when you close your lid.
74
This saves your state to your computer's memory and powers off most of your
75
computer's functions. A very small amount of power is still used during suspend.</p>
77
<p>To suspend your computer manually, click your name on the top bar and select
78
<gui>Suspend</gui>.</p>

<title>Shut down or restart</title>
87
<p>If you want to power off your computer entirely, or do a full restart,
88
first log out by clicking your name on the top bar and selecting
89
<gui>Log Out</gui>. You will be returned to the login screen. On the
90
login screen, click the power icon on the top bar and select either
91
<gui>Restart</gui> or <gui>Shut Down</gui>.</p>
93
<p>If there are other users logged in, you may not be allowed to
94
power off or restart the computer, because this will end their sessions.
95
If you are an administrative user, you may be asked for your password
98
<note style="tip"><p>If you need to shut down or restart quickly, you
99
can do it without logging out. Click your name on the top bar, then
100
hold down the <key>Alt</key> key. The <gui>Suspend</gui> option will
101
change to <gui>Power Off</gui>. Select this to shut down or
