 	<title>Sync Your Notes Automatically</title>
 	
 	<p>Tomboy can automatically sync your notes for you in the background.
 	It is recommended that you configure how you handle note conflicts
 	before enabling syncing automatically.  You can learn about handling
 	note conflicts in the <link xref="sync-setup#conflicts" />
 	Configure and Setup Sync page.</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>.
	</p>
	
	<p>To enable autosync, check the <gui>Automatically Sync in Background
	Every x Minutes</gui> box at the bottom of the Synchronization tab.</p>
	
	<p>Tomboy's default option is to autosync every 10 minutes.  To change
	how often Tomboy should sync enter the number of minutes in the dialog
	or use your mouse to move the time up or down.</p>
	
	<p>To disable autosync, uncheck  the <gui>Automatically Sync in	
	Background Every x Minutes</gui> box.</p>
