+Installation Wizard
+-------------------
 
 The installation wizard takes you step-by-step through configuration options and 
-account setup. These examples are on Windows 7; note the new "Integration for 
-Windows Explorer Option". This allows Windows users to share files directly 
-from their local ownCloud folder in Windows Explorer, rather than having to 
-open a Web browser and share from the ownCloud Web interface. Mac users get the 
-same option for Finder, and Linux users for Nautilus.

-In the next screen, enter your ownCloud server URL.
+On the Local Folder Option screen you may sync 
+all of your files on the ownCloud server, or select individual folders. The 
+default local sync folder is ``ownCloud``, in your home directory. You may 
+change this as well.

+   them in.
+   
+When you have completed selecting your sync folders, click the Connect button 
+at the bottom right. The client will attempt to connect to your ownCloud 
+server, and when it is successful you'll see two buttons: one to connect to 
+your ownCloud Web GUI, and one to open your local folder. It will also start 
+synchronizing your files.

+Click the Finish button, and you're all done.   
+
+When you are in your local ownCloud folder, you can right-click any file or 
+folder, and then left-click "Share with ownCloud" to create a share link. Note 
+that Windows may also have a Share With option. This is not the ownCloud Share 
+option. Linux users must install the ``owncloud-client-nautilus`` package to 
+enable file sharing from the Nautilus file manager. The ownCloud share dialog 
+looks like the following example on Ubuntu Linux:

-Adding a Folder
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The ``Add Folder ...`` button enables you to add a new local folder to the 
-synchronization process.
-
-To add a new folder:
-
-1. Click the ``Add Folder ...`` button in the Account window.
-
-  The ``Add Folder...`` window opens
-
-.. image:: images/folderwizard_local.png
-
-2. Type a *unique* path and alias name to the folder, or use the ``Choose...`` 
-   button to open a graphical file picker.
-
-.. note:: Nested synchronizations are not supported.  You
-    cannot add a folder that is already contained within another synchronized
-    folder. In addition, you cannot add a higher level (parent) folder that
-    contains a folder to which you are already synchronizing.  By default, the
-    ownCloud Set Up Wizard synchronizes your entire ownCloud account to the root
-    folder of the ownCloud server. If you wish to sync certain specific folders and not 
-    the entire root, you must first remove the root folder.
-
-3. Click 'Next' to continue.
-
-  A window opens prompting you to select a remote destination folder on the
-  ownCloud server to synchronize.
-
-.. image:: images/folderwizard_remote.png
-
-4. Select a folder on the ownCloud server to which you want to synchronize your 
-   newly added local folder.
-
-.. note:: A server folder can only be synchronized with a particular client 
-  once. If you attempt to sync the root directory, you cannot sync with 
-  other folders on the server. Similarly, if you sync with folder ``/a``, you 
-  cannot create another sync with ``/a/b``, since ``b`` is already being 
-  synched.
+You may now configure multiple ownCloud accounts in your desktop sync client. 
+Simply click the **Add an Account** button on the General tab, and follow the 
+account creation wizard. The new account will appear as a new tab in the settings dialog, where you can adjust its settings at any time.

 You may add additional files or directories that you want to exclude from the

-
-The Activity window provides an in-depth account of recent synchronization activity.  It 
-shows files that have not been synchronized because they are on the ignored files list, 
-or 
-because they cannot be synced due to containing special characters that cannot be stored 
-on certain file systems.
-
-.. image:: images/settings_activity.png
-
-You can open the Activity window in one of the following ways:
-
-- Click 'Activity' in the left frame of the ownCloud Settings window.
-
-- Invoke the window from the ownCloud Desktop Client menu by selecting ``Recent
-  Changes`` > ``Details...``.  (See Using the Desktop Client Menu.)

-Using the General Settings Window
----------------------------------
-
-.. index:: general settings, auto start, startup, desktop notifications
-
-The General settings window has options for launching the client at system 
-startup, notifications, and using monochrome icons.
-
-.. image:: images/settings_general.png
-
-* ``Launch on System Startup`` checkbox: Provides the option to check (enable)
-  or uncheck (disable) whether the ownCloud Desktop Client launches at system
-  startup.  By default, this option is enabled (checked) after you have configured
-  your account.
-
-* ``Show Desktop Notifications`` checkbox: Provides the option to check (enable)
-  or uncheck (disable) notifications about sync activity.
-
-* ``Use Monochrome Icons`` checkbox: Provides the option to check (enable) or
-  uncheck (disable) the use of monochrome (visually less obtrusive) icons.
-
-.. note:: This option can be useful on Mac OS X platforms.

-  pertinent build conditions.

-Specifying Proxy Settings
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-* ``No Proxy`` option: Do not use a proxy.
-
-* ``Use system proxy`` option: Default setting. Follows the systems proxy
-  settings.
-
-* ``Specify proxy manually as`` option: Enables you to specify
-  the following custom proxy settings:
-
-  - ``HTTP(S)``: Used when you are required to use an HTTP(S) proxy server (for 
-  example, Squid or Microsoft Forefront TMG). 
-  
-  - ``SOCKSv5``: Typically used in special company LAN setups, or in 
-  combination with the OpenSSH dynamic application level forwarding feature 
-  (see ``ssh -D``).
-  
-  - ``Host``: Host name or IP address of the proxy server along with the port 
-  number. HTTP proxies typically listen over Ports 8080 (default) or 3128. 
-  SOCKS servers typically listen over port 1080.
-
-* ``Proxy Server requires authentication`` checkbox: Provides the option to 
-  check (enable/require) or uncheck (disable/not require) proxy server 
-  authentication. When not checked, the proxy server must be configured to 
-  allow anonymous usage. When checked, a proxy server username and password is 
-  required.
-
-Bandwidth Limiting
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Synchronization of files between a client and server can use a lot of
-bandwidth, so you can limit how much your ownCloud sync client uses.
-
-- ``No limit`` option: The default setting for the client; specifies that there
-  are no limit settings on the bandwidth used by data downloaded from the server. 
-
-- ``Limit to <value> KBytes/s`` option: Limits (throttles) the bandwidth to
-  a customized value (in KBytes/second).
-
-The Upload Bandwidth field (for data flowing from the ownCloud client to the
-server) provides the following options:
-
-- ``No limit`` option: The default setting for the client; specifies that there
-  are no limit settings on the bandwidth used by data uploaded to the server. 
-
-- ``Limit automatically``: When enabled, the ownCloud client surrenders
-  available bandwidth to other applications.  Use this option if there are
-  issues with real time communication (for example, the use of IP phone or live
-  streaming) in conjunction with the ownCloud Client.
-
-- ``Limit to <value> KBytes/s`` option: Limits (throttles) the bandwidth to a
-  customized value (in KBytes/second).
