<title>Revoke your subkeys</title>
<p>If your subkey has been compromised or is no longer in use, it might be a
good idea to revoke it to prevent misuse of the key.</p>
<steps>
<title>To revoke a subkey:</title>
<item>
<p><link xref="subkeys-examine">Navigate</link> to the <gui>Subkeys</gui>
panel.</p>
</item>
<!--The above step can be replaced with the following, if it's too vague:
<item>
<p>Select <gui>GnuPG keys</gui> from the panel on the left.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Right click on the PGP key and select
<guiseq><gui>Properties</gui><gui>Details</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Expand the subkeys panel if required.</p>
</item>-->
<item>
<p>Select the subkey from the list and press the
<gui style="button">Revoke</gui> button.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>In the new dialog, select a reason for revoking the key.
Optionally, describe your reason in more detail in the
<gui>Description</gui> field.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Press the <gui style="button">Revoke</gui> button.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>You will have to unlock the key with its passphrase.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>The <gui>Status</gui> of the subkey changes to <gui>Revoked</gui> in
the <gui>Subkeys</gui> panel.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<note style="tip">
<p>If you have <link xref="pgp-publish">published</link> your subkey, you
must <link xref="pgp-sync">synchronize</link> it with the key servers after
revoking it to apply the revocation on all copies of the key.</p>
