+Renew patron account
+----------------------------------
+
+When renewing a patron account you can either edit the the expiry date
+manually in the patron record or use the 'Renew patron' option from the
+More menu in the toolbar at the top.
+
+|image1393|
+
+Using the latter the new expiry date will be calculated using the 
+enrollment period configured for the patron category of the user.
+The system preference :ref:`BorrowerRenewalPeriodBase` determines if
+the new expiry date will be calculated from the current date or from the 
+old expiry date.
+
+One advantage of using the 'Renew patron' option is that it will be logged
+as a membership renewal in the action_logs table and be visible as such
+when using the :ref:`Log viewer <log-viewer-label>` or the 
+:ref:`Modificaton log <modification-log-label>` from the patron account.
+
+The renewal date of the patron account will be visible on the details tab.
