Working with the History Dialog Window

The History Dialog Window is displayed as toggle dialog on the right of the JOSM main window. It provides a list of objects.

• Select an object by clicking on it. You may expand the current selection by holding Ctrl or Shift while you click on an object.
• Move the mouse over an object and keep it there for 1 second in order to view details of a particular object (the yellow area in the image above)

The History Dialog Window includes two buttons:

• Reload: click Reload to load (or reload) the object histories for the selected objects from the server
• Show: click Show to launch a History Browser for each of the selected objects.

You can also launch a History Browser by double clicking on an object in the History Dialog Window.
