    <desc>Change how long to wait before locking the screen in the
    <gui>Privacy</gui> settings.</desc>
  </info>

  <title>The screen locks itself too quickly</title>

  <p>If you leave your computer for a few minutes, the screen will
  automatically lock itself so you have to enter your password to start using
  it again. This is done for security reasons (so no one can mess with your
  work if you leave the computer unattended), but it can be annoying if the
  screen locks itself too quickly.</p>

  <p>To wait a longer period before the screen is automatically locked:</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
      start typing <gui>Privacy</gui>.</p>
    </item>

    <item>
      <p>Click on <gui>Privacy</gui> to open the panel.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Press on <gui>Screen Lock</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>If <gui>Automatic Screen Lock</gui> is on, you can change the value
      in the <gui>Lock screen after blank for</gui> drop-down list.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <note style="tip">
    <p>If you don’t ever want the screen to lock itself automatically, switch
    the <gui>Automatic Screen Lock</gui> switch to off.</p>
  </note>
