+{Making changes}
+
+I have changed some files and I want to record the changes
+
+Click the Commit button in the toolbar on the left to commit all of
+the changes you have made to tracked files in your working folder.
+That is, all files listed as *"Modified"*, *"Removed"*, or *"Added"*
+under "My Work".
+
+(If the files you have changed are still listed as *"Untracked"*, then
+you must add them before you can commit.  See [[20|I've added a new file...]].
+
+When you commit your changes, you will be asked for a commit message
+which will accompany that change set in the history.  Enter something
+that will help you remember -- and other readers understand -- what
+you have changed and why.
+
+If you want to commit only some files, right-click on them in the list
+and choose Commit from the context menu.
+
+ * Note: the equivalent Mercurial command for this is *hg commit*
