From the session menu, you can also select \menu{Lock Screen} to require a password before using the computer again \dash this is useful if you need to leave your computer for some duration.

Managing your computer

When you have finished working on your computer, you can choose to log out, suspend, restart, or shut down through the session menu on the far right side of the top panel. You can also quickly access these options by pressing the \keystroke{Ctrl+Alt+Del} keys.

Logging out

Logging out will leave the computer running but return you to the login screen. This is useful for switching users, such as when a different person wishes to log in to their account, or if you are ever instructed to ``log out and back in again.'' You should save your work before logging out.

Hibernate is similar to suspend, except that instead of saving your session to memory, hibernate will save your session to the hard disk. This takes a little longer, but with the added benefit that hibernation uses no power while it is in a hibernated state.

To reboot your computer, select \menu{Restart} from the session menu.
