    <desc>Add files or folders to a new archive.</desc>
  </info>

  <title>Create a new archive</title>

  <p>Create a new archive with <app>Archive Manager</app> by following these
  steps:</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Select <guiseq><gui style="menu">Archive
      Manager</gui><gui style="menuitem">New Archive</gui></guiseq>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Name your new archive file and choose the location where it will be
      saved, then click <gui>Create</gui> to continue.</p>
      <note style="tip">
	<p>By clicking <gui>Other Options</gui> you can set a password or
	split your new archive into smaller, individual files by selecting the
	relevant option and specifying the volume for each part in
	<gui>MB</gui>.</p>
      </note>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Add the desired files and folders to your archive by pressing
      <gui>+</gui> in the toolbar button. Check the box next to the files and
      folders that you want to add.</p>
      <note style="tip">
	<p>Not all archive file formats support folders — if the file format
	that you are using does not, you will not be warned. If the file format
	that you are using does not support folders, the files from the folders
	will be added, but not the folder itself.</p>
      </note>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Once you finish adding files, the archive is ready; you do not need to
      save it.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>
