<p>More links would be good, especially in #logout. Could go final
as-is. Incomplete for now</p>

<p>When you've finished using your computer, you can turn it off, suspend it
(to save power), or leave it powered on and log out.</p>
<section id="logout">
<title>Log out or switch users</title>
<p>To let other users use your computer, you can either log out, or leave
yourself logged in and just switch users. If you switch users, all of
your applications will continue running, and everything will be where you
left it when you log back in.</p>
<p>To <gui>Log Out</gui> or <gui>Switch User</gui>, click your name on the
top bar and select the appropriate option.</p>
<note if:test="!platform:gnome-classic">
<p>The <gui>Log Out</gui> and <gui>Switch User</gui> entries only appear in
the menu if you have more than one user account on your system.</p>

<title>Lock the screen</title>
<p>If you're leaving your computer for a short time, you should lock your
screen to prevent other people from accessing your files or running
applications. When you return, raise the
<link xref="shell-lockscreen">lock screen</link> curtain and enter your
password to log back in. If you don't lock your screen, it will lock
automatically after a certain amount of time.</p>
<p>To lock your screen, click your name on the top bar and select
<gui>Lock</gui>.</p>
<p>When your screen is locked, other users can log in to their own accounts
by clicking <gui>Log in as another user</gui> on the password screen. You
can switch back to your desktop when they are finished.</p>

<title>Suspend</title>
<p>To save power, suspend your computer when you are not using it. If you use
a laptop, GNOME suspends your computer automatically when you close the lid.
This saves your state to your computer's memory and powers off most of the
computer's functions. A very small amount of power is still used during
suspend.</p>
<p>To suspend your computer manually, click your name on the top bar and
hold down the <key>Alt</key> key. The <gui>Power Off</gui> option will
change to <gui>Suspend</gui>. Select <gui>Suspend</gui>.</p>
</section>
<section id="shutdown">
<!--<info>
<link type="seealso" xref="power-off"/>
</info>-->
<title>Power off or restart</title>
<p>If you want to power off your computer entirely, or do a full restart,
click your name on the top bar and select <gui>Power Off</gui>. A dialog will
open offering you to either <gui>Restart</gui> or <gui>Power Off</gui>.</p>
<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 style="tip">
<p>You may want to power off your computer if you wish to move it and do not
have a battery, if your battery is low or does not hold charge well. A powered
off computer also uses <link xref="power-batterylife">less energy</link> than
one which is suspended.</p>
