Update modified

Keyboard shortcut: CTRL-ALT-M

Reload the modified objects in the current data layer from the server.

You should run File->Update modified if you want to refresh all modified objects from the server. JOSM won't overwrite the local data, but it may detect, that current object versions from the server collide with your locally modified object versions. In this case, JOSM will create conflicts. You will have to resolve them after the update is finished. Your local edits aren't lost.

This action is disabled unless there are modified objects in the current data layer.

Note:

• You can't avoid conflicts by not updating the data! They will just show up at a later time (when uploading).
