<title>How to sync and publish keys?</title>
+ <p><app>Passwords and Keys</app> helps you to publish and sync
+ <em>Public keys</em>. This keeps your keys updated and also helps people to
+ find your keys easily.</p>
+
+<section id="publish">
+ <title>Publish your keys</title>
+
+ <p>After you create your <em>Public key</em> you can choose to publish it.
+ When you publish a key, it becomes easily accessible to anybody who wants to
+ communicate with you and saves you the hassle of mailing your key
+ individually to all your communicators. However, you can also choose to not
+ publish your key if you only want to share your <em>Public key</em> with a
+ select few people.</p>
+
+ <steps>
+ <title>How do I publish my key?</title>
+ <item>
+ <p>Select the key you want to publish.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Select <guiseq><gui style="menu">Remote</gui>
+ <gui style="menuitem">Sync and Publish Keys…</gui></guiseq>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Click the <gui style="button">Key Servers</gui> button.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Three <link xref="key-servers-what-are-they">key servers</link>
+ will already be listed by <app>Passwords and Keys</app>.</p>
+ <note style="tip">
+ <p>You can also add the key server of your choice to the list by
+ clicking the <gui style="add">Add</gui> button. Select the
+ appropriate key server type. Key servers are identified by the
+ protocol they use to communicate. Look for the first few letters in
+ the Internet URL of your key server to identify its type. In the
+ <gui style="input">Host</gui> field, paste the Internet URL of your
+ key server, and click <gui style="button">OK</gui>. To remove a key
+ server from the list, select it with your mouse and click
+ <gui style="button">Remove</gui>.</p>
+ </note>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>From the drop down box next to
+ <gui style="group">Publish keys to</gui>, select the key server that
+ you want to publish your key on.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Check the
+ <gui style="checkbox">Automatically retrieve keys from key servers</gui>
+ checkbox to retrieve any key that is published on the
+ server you have selected in the previous step. You can also check the
+ <gui style="checkbox">Automatically sync modified keys with key servers</gui>
+ checkbox to ensure that any modifications to a key on the
+ key server, like a signature are updated on your copy of the key
+ too.</p>
+ </item>
+ </steps>
+
+</section>
+
+<section>
+ <title>Sync your keys</title>
+
+ <p>Keys in your keyring may have to be synced with a key server to ensure
+ that any changes made to the key on the key server, like a new signature, are
+ updated in your local copy of the key.</p>
+
+ <steps>
+ <title>How do I sync a key?</title>
+ <item>
+ <p>Select the key you wish to sync.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Select <guiseq><gui style="menu">Remote</gui>
+ <gui style="menuitem">Sync and Publish Keys…</gui></guiseq>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Click the <gui style="button">Sync</gui> button to sync your
+ key.</p>
+ </item>
+ </steps>
+
+ <note style="important">
+ <title>Why is the <gui style="button">Sync</gui> button not
+ clickable?</title>
+ <p>Only keys that have been published on a key server can be synced. If
+ the <gui style="button">Sync</gui> button is not clickable, check if the
+ key has been published on a key server. In the case of syncing your own
+ keys, publish them, before syncing them.</p>
