[[JOSMImage(no_upload,48,link=,middle,margin-right=100)]] **([wikitr:/Help/ExpertMode expert mode] only)**

An OSM [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/LayerList data layer] can have three states regarding its upload behavior.


== States ==
||= **icon** =||= **state** =||= **osm element attribute** =||= '''behavior on upload''' =||= **how to set in GUI** =||
||  [[JOSMImage(layer/osmdata_small,24,link=,middle)]]  || DEFAULT || (optional: `upload='true'`) || no special behaviour || by deactivating the Discourage upload button in the [wikitr:/Help/Menu/OSMLayer context menu] of the osm data layer  ||
||  [[Image(wiki:Help/Menu/OSMLayer:noupload.svg,24,link=,middle)]]  || DISCOURAGED || `upload='false'` || a warning box appears if you really want to upload the layer || by activating the Discourage upload button in the context menu of the osm data layer ||
||  [[Image(wiki:Help/Menu/OSMLayer:noupload.svg,24,link=,middle)]]  || BLOCKED || `upload='never'` || the upload button is greyed out so the upload is impossible || not possible ||


== Code Example ==
Edit a .osm file in a text editor and instead of the usual \\
{{{<osm version='0.6' generator='JOSM'>}}} \\
use \\
{{{<osm version='0.6' generator='JOSM' upload='never'>}}}.


== Miscellaneous ==
The warning when you try to upload an "`upload='false'`" layer:

[[Image(upload_false.png,link=)]]

The idea behind these states is to prevent to accidentally upload data which is not appropriate for the osm database (e.g. some fictional test data).

Note that you'll only get a warning about [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/UnsavedChangesDialog unsaved changes] of layers with the states false or never if the state was already set in the osm file ''before'' adding the layer to JOSM.
