== Edit Toolbar ==

The Edit toolbar has two parts to  
* choose the active [#Workingmodes Working mode⤓] with the upper buttons and 
* toggle each panel inside the [wikitr:/Help/ToggleDialogs ToggleDialogs] with one of the lower buttons.

The bar and its buttons can be [#Contextmenu hidden⤓].

== Working modes ==#Workingmodes

The Working mode determines what will happen when the mouse is clicked in the [wikitr:/Help/MapView Map View]. 
Therefore **at all times exactly one Working mode is active** in JOSM.

The different Working modes can be activated with the buttons in the upper part of the Edit toolbar or with Keyboard shortcuts.

The edit toolbar is usually visible at the left side of JOSMs [wikitr:/Help#JOSMinterface interface] but it can be hidden. 

When you right click on an button in the edit toolbar, you get the following options:
