    <title>About synchronization</title>
    <p><app>Gnote</app> allows you to synchronize notes accross multiple machines, so that you could use it on multiple devices and work with the same notes on all of them.</p>
    <p>In order to use synchronization, you have to configure it first in <app>Gnote</app> configuration dialog.</p>
    <p>Notes are synchronized to one location, common to all <app>Gnote</app> installations. This location stores the history of your notes. When synchronizing, each <app>Gnote</app> instance uploads new and updated notes to this location, downloads new and updated notes on other installations. The synchronization location also contains information on deleted notes: when synchronizing, <app>Gnote</app> publishes all deleted notes and deletes the ones, that are published as such. This way multiple <app>Gnote</app> installations can keep the same set of notes.</p>
