This brings up a list of predefined groups of tags which you can then choose to apply to the currently selected [Concepts/Object objects].

A new window will open if the selected objects' types suit the preset. Depending on the preset this window might have several additional tags to choose from. There are different ways to add the value to the corresponding keys:
* simple check boxes ''(e.g. `oneway=yes/no`)''.
* free lines to type in text ''(e.g. `name=`)''.
* drop-down lists to choose from ''(e.g. `surface=`)''.

The JOSM installation comes with a [source:trunk/data/defaultpresets.xml default] set of presets and a [/Presets list] of additional presets, which cover most of your mapping needs.  However you can add / modify the default or design a new one by creating your own [wiki:/TaggingPresets preset] file.

== Installing presets ==
Presets are installed under map settings in the preferences.
