Hello Rowan,
In GParted when creating the partition just make sure that you select
linux-swap in the "format to" field.
Once you have your new swap partion created you will need to update 2 files
with the new volume UUID. You can get the new UUID by right clicking on your
new swap partition in GParted and selecting information.
The 2 files to modify are:
/etc/fstab (change UUID on the line related to the swap volume)
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
Once you are done you need to run the following command in the terminal:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure initramfs-tools
That command will enable hibernation on the new swap partition.
