= Expert Mode =

Some advanced settings and features are only visible when the expert mode is enabled. It is disabled by default to not drown new users in too much functions (which are often not yet needed in the beginng of editing with JOSM) and to protect him from doing unwanted things. (The expert mode is ''not'' a [Help/EditToolbar working mode].)

== Activating the expert mode ==

It can be switched like this: 

 ''[Menu/View View]'' > [[Image(source:trunk/images/expert.png,middle)]] ''Expert Mode''
or
 ''[Menu/Edit Edit]'' > [[Image(source:trunk/images/preference.png,20,middle)]] ''[Action/Preferences Preferences...]'' > Checkbox ''Expert mode'' at the bottom left.

== Features that are hidden unless expert mode is enabled ==

The following features are only visible when the Expert mode is enabled. However some functions work also in non expert mode by using the associated keyboard shortcut. This list is probably incomplete.
