| 10 | | == Creating/opening a changeset == |
| | 10 | == Changesets and the number of upload operations == |
| | 11 | A changeset is independent from an individual upload operation. |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | You can run multiple [[Image(source:/trunk/images/upload.png)]] [wiki:Help/Action/Upload uploads] with the same changeset. The changeset will then package the changes published in all uploads. A mapper can even stop JOSM, start it a day later and continue to publish to the changeset he or she has been using a day before, provided he or she didn't close the changeset. |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | A changeset is initially openened and it stays '''open''' until it is closed. A JOSM user can explicitly close one or more of his open changesets. If he doesn't close them, the JOSM server will close open changeset after a couple of days automatically. A changeset which isn't open is called '''closed'''. |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | == Providing comments and tags for changeset == |
| | 18 | Similar to nodes, ways, and relations, it is possible to decorate changesets with [wiki:/Help/Concepts/Object tags]. The most important tag is the so called '''upload comment'''. When you publish data in JOSM you are required to enter an upload comment with at least three characters. It's this comment which describes the published data for other mappers. |
