+  <title>Restoring keystores from a backup</title>
+  <shortdesc>Because updates to an Android package (APK) must be signed with the same key as the original APK was signed
+    with, it is extremely important that you keep a copy of all of your signing keys. The Signing and Keys view provides
+    a simple mechanism to back up and then restore one or more keystores to a zip archive file.</shortdesc>
