    1010Geo data edited in JOSM is only available locally and only usable by the user who entered the data unless the user decides to make it available to the community too. In order to publish data the user has to **upload** it. Uploading means that the geo data is transferred to a central server run by the OSM community where it is integrated with geo data from other mappers in a central database. It's by uploading data that locally edited geo data both becomes part of the [osmwww: public maps] and can be used by other members of the OSM community.

     14- (like online editors like iD or Potlatch) you need to upload your changes to OSM server. Make sure you connected to server :-)
     15- you may encounter conflicts after you upload changes ([[Help/Dialog/Conflict]] in most cases this means you will have to choose what tags to leave on your objects)
     16- to reduce chance of conflict, don't edit data other mappers edit in same time window
     17- to reduce chance of conflict, make your downloads-uploads quicker, so there no overlap between your time-window and theirs
     18- (unlike online editors like iD or Potlatch) you don't have to upload immediately (you may [[Help/Action/Save]] file manually but [[Help/Action/AutoSave]] will further assist you)
