With the The History Browser you can browse through the history of an object. The History Browser provides three main areas:
  * '''List of object versions''': on the left a list of object versions is displayed. Two versions are highlighted with a red or a blue background.[[BR]] The version with the red background is called the '''reference version''', the version with the blue background the '''current version'''.

 * '''Values of the reference version''': this panel displays the values of the reference version 
 * '''Values of the current version''': this pnale displays the values of the current version


=== How to select the reference version === 
 * Double-click on any version in the '''List of object versions''' to make it the '''reference version'''. 

=== How to select the current version ===
 * Single-click on any version in the '''List of object versions''' to make it the '''current version'''.
 * You can use the up and down arrows on your keyboard to select the previous or the next version as current version. 

=== Basic information about a version ===

The History Browser displays basic information about each object version:

  * the '''version id''', a unique number the OSM server assigned to this object version
  * the '''date of creation'''
  * the '''user''' who created this version. Click on the link to launch a browser with additional information about the user.
  * the '''changeset id''', i.e. the unique number of the changeset in which this object version was created. Click on the link to launch a browser with additional information about the changeset.
