    2932
    3033=== Query and download your open changesets ===
    31 Changesets can be [wiki:/Help/Concepts/Changeset#Properties open or closed]. A mapper can always upload additional objects to an open changeset he or she owns.

    7075=== Downloading/Updating the content of changesets in the cache === #UpdateContentMulti
    7176A changeset includes a collection of object which have been created, updateded, or  deleted by the changeset. These objects are called the ''changeset content''.
    72 The size of a changeset content varies, but in general it can become very large. Changesets can grow up to 50'000 objects. Changeset content is therefore not automatically downloaded from the OSM server.

    8089== Managing a single changeset ==

    100  1.  Click on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/changeset/updatechangesetcontent.png)]] or  [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/changeset/downloadchangesetcontent.png)]] respectively. Depending on whether the changeset content has already been downloaded either of these two actions is available.
     1161. Click on [[JOSMImage(dialogs/changeset/updatechangesetcontent,24,middle,link=)]] or  [[JOSMImage(dialogs/changeset/downloadchangesetcontent,24,middle,link=)]] respectively. Depending on whether the changeset content has already been downloaded either of these two actions is available.

    102 === Selecting objects in the changeset content in the Map View ===
    103 If the [wiki:/Help/MapView Map View] includes an active data layer you can select all objects in this layer which are also part of the current changeset in the Changeset Manager.
     118=== Download the current version of objects in the changeset content ===
     119Objects included in the changeset may be downloaded to the active data layer. If no data layer exists a new one is created.
    104120
    105  1.  Click on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/select.png)]] in the detail view of the Changeset Manager
     1211. Click on the tab **Content**.
     1221. Make sure the changeset content is downloaded. If not, download it first.
     1231. Select some objects in the changeset content.
     1241. Click on [[JOSMImage(downloadprimitive)]]. Alternatively, you may select [[JOSMImage(downloadprimitive)]] **Download Objects** from the popup menu.
    106125
    107 You can also select
    108 
    109  1. Select the tab '''Content''' in the detail view
    110  2. Select one or more objects in the content
    111  3. Click on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/select.png)]]. Alternatively, you may select [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/select.png)]] '''Select in layer''' in the popup menu.
    112 
    113 === Zooming to objects in the changeset content  ===
    114 If the [wiki:/Help/MapView Map View] includes an active data layer you can "zoom to the changeset". Actually, neither the changeset nor the entire changeset content is ever included in a data layer. With "zoom to the changeset" we mean that JOSM zooms to the largest subset of objects in the data layer which is also a subset in the changeset content.
    115 
    116 In order to zoom to "zoom to the changeset"
    117  1. Click on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/autoscale/selection.png)]] in the detail view of the Changeset Manager
    118 
    119 Alternatively, you may zoom to a subset of the changeset content". In order to do so
    120 
    121  1.  Click on the tab '''Content'''
    122  2.  Make sure the changeset content is downloaded. If not, download it first.
    123  3.  Select some objects in the changeset content
    124  4.   Click on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/autoscale/selection.png)]]. Alternatively, you may select [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/autoscale/selection.png)]]'''Zoom to layer''' from the popup menu.
     126**Note**: To download all objects of a changeset it is often faster to use the plugin [[Image(source:/osm/applications/editors/josm/plugins/reverter/images/revert-changeset.svg,link=,middle)]] [osmwiki:JOSM/Plugins/Reverter Reverter] and undo the last action.
    125127
    126128=== Download and display the history of objects in the changeset content ===
    127129For an object included in the content of a changeset, you may retrieve and display its history.
