     4Welcome to the JOSM Help!
     5The [wikitr:/Introduction Introduction] will guide you to your first successful edit.
     6The [wikitr:/HowTo How Tos] deal with some use cases.
     7
     8== Interface ==#Interface
     9The **[wikitr:/Help/Menu Main menu]** offers under
     10[wikitr:/Help/Menu/File File],
     11[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Edit Edit],
     12[wikitr:/Help/Menu/View View],
     13[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Mode Mode],
     14[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Tools Tools],
     15[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Selection Selection],
     16[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Presets Presets],
     17[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Imagery Imagery],
     18[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Windows Windows],
     19[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Audio Audio] and
     20[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Help Help]
     21all actions possible in JOSM.
     22A search finds every [wikitr:/Help/Action/SearchMenuItems menu item].
     23
     24On the **[wikitr:/Help/MapView Mapview]** all mouse clicks depend on the [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Mode#Workingmode Working mode] previously switched to.
     25New [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object objects] are created in ''Draw mode''.
     26In other modes objects are [wikitr:/Help/Action/Select selected] and edited.
     27
     28* The **[wikitr:/Help/MainToolbar Main toolbar]** has buttons for actions and presets
     29* The panels in the **[wikitr:/Help/ToggleDialogs Sidebar]** inform about the loaded data and the [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/SelectionList#Selection Selection]
     30* The **[wikitr:/Help/StatusBar Status Bar]** shows the drawing position
     31* The Working mode is indicated in the **[wikitr:/Help/EditToolbar Edit toolbar]**.
     32 Therefore the buttons in its upper part are important screen elements.

    18 == Getting Started ==
    19 ==== Within this wiki
    20 * [wiki:Introduction Introduction to JOSM]
    21 * [wiki:HowTo How Tos] about JOSM
    22 * [wiki:Help/AudioMapping Audio mapping:] playing voice notes and synchronizing them with your GPS tracks in JOSM
    23 * [wiki:Shortcuts Keyboard shortcuts]
     44All screen elements have their own [wikitr:/Help/Action/Help help context] in JOSM.
     45Other dialogs exist
     46for 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].
     47{{{#!comment
     48Only the non-modal dialogs and the preferences should be listed above
     49Please 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.

     54The power of JOSM lies in its flexibility, allowing every user to download, create and publish:
     55* [wikitr:/Presets Presets] to create a rich map with common object types,
     56* [wikitr:/Rules Rules] to tag according to guidelines,
     57* [wikitr:/Styles Styles] to paint maps to taste,
     58* [wikitr:/Plugins Plugins] to extend JOSM's functionality and
     59* [wikitr:/Shortcuts Keyboard shortcuts] of their choosing.

    33 == Concepts ==
    34 * [wiki:Help/Concepts/Object Objects] - explains what '''objects''' maps consist of and how these objects are described in detail
    35 * [wiki:Help/Concepts/Conflict Conflict] - explains the basics of '''conflicts''', why they occur, how they are detected and how you can resolve them
    36 * [wiki:Help/Concepts/Changeset Changeset] - explains why you create a '''changeset''' when you upload data to the OSM server
     61As a companion for [osmwiki:Main_Page OpenStreetMap] since 2005, [osmwiki:JOSM]'s growth rate has been fast.
