    <p>To set preferences for <app>Gnote</app>, select <gui>Preferences</gui> from the application menu.</p>
    <p>There are three categories of preferences, <gui>General</gui>, <gui>Hotkeys</gui> and <gui>Add-Ins</gui>.</p>
    <p>The <gui>General</gui> tab lets you set preferences related to application behaviour and editing notes. There are a few checkboxes on this tab:</p>
    <list>
      <item><title>Use status icon</title><p> Enable this checkbox to show the <app>Gnote</app> status icon when running. In this mode <app>Gnote</app> will remain present even after all its windows are closed. When you click the status icon, a menu appears that gives you quick access to recently used notes and other windows.</p></item>
      <item><title>Always open notes in new window</title><p>When checked, instead of replacing current window content, note is opened in the new window.</p></item>
      <item><title>Spellcheck while typing</title><p> Enable this checkbox to underline misspellings in red and provide suggestions in the right click context menu.</p><p>The spellcheck option is only available if you have the GtkSpell package for your distribution installed.</p></item>
      <item><title>Highlight WikiWords</title><p> Enable this checkbox to create links for phrases ThatLookLikeThis. Clicking on a link will create a new note with a title corresponding to the link text.</p></item>
      <item><title>Enable auto-bulleted lists</title><p>When this preference is enabled, you can create bulleted lists by starting lines with a dash character <key>-</key>. Read more about <link xref="bulleted-lists"/>.</p></item>
      <item><title>Use custom font</title><p> Enable this checkbox to set a custom font to be used in your notes.</p></item>

      <p>This dialog lets you choose what to do when a conflict occurs. A conflict happens when a note has been modified both on the local machine and on another device. You can select one of these options:</p>
      <list>
        <item><p>Rename the existing note by appending &quot;(old)&quot; to its title and downloading the one from storage</p></item>
        <item><p>Replace the existing note by the one from storage, losing all modifications</p></item>
        <item><p>Ask about each conflicting note individually</p></item>
      </list>
