+Welcome to the JOSM Help! 
+The [wikitr:/Introduction Introduction] will guide you to your first successful edit. 
+The [wikitr:/HowTo How Tos] deal with some use cases. 
+
+== Interface ==#Interface
+The **[wikitr:/Help/Menu Main menu]** offers under 
+[wikitr:/Help/Menu/File File], 
+[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Edit Edit], 
+[wikitr:/Help/Menu/View View], 
+[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Mode Mode], 
+[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Tools Tools], 
+[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Selection Selection], 
+[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Presets Presets], 
+[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Imagery Imagery], 
+[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Windows Windows], 
+[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Audio Audio] and 
+[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Help Help] 
+all actions possible in JOSM.
+A search finds every [wikitr:/Help/Action/SearchMenuItems menu item].
+
+On the **[wikitr:/Help/MapView Mapview]** all mouse clicks depend on the [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Mode#Workingmode Working mode] previously switched to.
+New [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object objects] are created in ''Draw mode''.
+In other modes objects are [wikitr:/Help/Action/Select selected] and edited.
+
+* The **[wikitr:/Help/MainToolbar Main toolbar]** has buttons for actions and presets 
+* The panels in the **[wikitr:/Help/ToggleDialogs Sidebar]** inform about the loaded data and the [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/SelectionList#Selection Selection]
+* The **[wikitr:/Help/StatusBar Status Bar]** shows the drawing position
+* The Working mode is indicated in the **[wikitr:/Help/EditToolbar Edit toolbar]**. 
+ Therefore the buttons in its upper part are important screen elements.
+

+
+All screen elements have their own [wikitr:/Help/Action/Help help context] in JOSM.
+Other dialogs exist
+for setting [wikitr:/Help/Action/Preferences Preferences], for managing [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/ChangesetManager Changesets], for resolving [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/Conflict Conflicts], for editing [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/RelationEditor Relations] and for browsing the [wikitr:/Help/Action/ObjectHistory History of an object]. 
+{{{#!comment 
+Only the non-modal dialogs and the preferences should be listed above
+Please no additional icons. For example JOSMImage(dialogs/relationlist) may mean the Relation editor, but it is already shown twice in the screenshot for other elements. Offering a third meaning brings no benefit.

+The power of JOSM lies in its flexibility, allowing every user to download, create and publish:
+* [wikitr:/Presets Presets] to create a rich map with common object types,
+* [wikitr:/Rules Rules] to tag according to guidelines,
+* [wikitr:/Styles Styles] to paint maps to taste,
+* [wikitr:/Plugins Plugins] to extend JOSM's functionality and 
+* [wikitr:/Shortcuts Keyboard shortcuts] of their choosing.
