    2723=== Query and download a changeset by its unique ID ===
    … …  
    3026[[Image(query-single-changeset.png)]]
    3127
    32  1. Enter the changeset ID in the input field in the toolbar section of the Changeset Manager
    33  2. Press {{{ENTER}}} or click on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/changeset/downloadchangeset.png)]]
     281. Enter the changeset ID or a changeset URL in the input field in the toolbar section of the Changeset Manager
     291. Press **`ENTER`** or click on [[JOSMImage(dialogs/changeset/downloadchangeset,24,middle)]].
    3430
    3531If you download a single changeset JOSM downloads both the changeset properties (for instance its id or the date it was created) and the changeset content (i.e. the list of objects created, updated, or deleted with this changeset).
    3632
    3733=== Query and download your open changesets ===
    38 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.

    54  1. Click on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/search.png)]]'''Query''' in the toolbar section of the Changeset Manager
     501. Click on [[JOSMImage(dialogs/search,middle)]] **Query** in the toolbar section of the Changeset Manager.
    5551
    5652== Managing the cache of downloaded changesets ==
     53JOSM locally maintains a cache of the changesets downloaded from the OSM server. The content of this cache is displayed in the upper half of the Changeset Manager.
     54
     55To sort the table of the changesets click on the table column header.
    5756
    5857=== Removing changesets from the cache ===
     58Changesets can be removed from the local cache. Removing a changeset from the cache doesn't affect the OSM server. The changeset isn't deleted on the server. In fact, it is ''not possible'' to delete a changeset on the server.
     59
     60Removing changesets from the local cache can be useful because the local changeset cache consumes memory, though. You can remove changesets you don't need from the cache in order to free up the memory.
     61
     62To remove one or more changesets from the local cache
     631. Select the changesets in the Changeset Manager
     641. Click on [[JOSMImage(dialogs/delete,24,middle,link=)]] or press **`DEL`**. Alternatively you may select  [[JOSMImage(dialogs/delete,24,middle,link=)]] **Remove from cache** from the popup menu.
    5965
    6066=== Updating the properties of changesets in the cache ===
     67Properties of changesets can change over time. For instance, an open changeset can become closed or the tags of an open changeset can change because it is assigned a new set of tags in another upload.
    6168
    62 === Downloading/Updating the content of changesets in the cache ===
     69In order to update the properties of one or more changesets
     701. Select the changesets in the Changeset Manager
     711. Click on [[JOSMImage(dialogs/changeset/updatechangeset,24,middle,link=)]]. Alternatively you may select  [[JOSMImage(dialogs/changeset/updatechangeset,24,middle,link=)]] **Update changeset** from the popup menu.
    6372
    64 === Selecting the objects in changesets in the Map View ===
     73Note that this will update the changeset properties only. For updating the changeset content, see [#UpdateContentMulti below].
    6574
    66 === Zooming to changesets ===
     75=== Downloading/Updating the content of changesets in the cache === #UpdateContentMulti
     76A changeset includes a collection of object which have been created, updateded, or  deleted by the changeset. These objects are called the ''changeset content''.
     77The 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.
     78
     79In order to download the changeset content of one or more changesets
     801. Select the changesets in the Changeset Manager
     811. Click on [[JOSMImage(dialogs/changeset/downloadchangesetcontent)]]. Alternatively you may select  [[JOSMImage(dialogs/changeset/downloadchangesetcontent)]] **Download changeset content** from the popup menu.
     82
     83The content of a changeset may change over time too, provided the changeset is still open. The same steps will always retrieve the latest content for a given changeset. If the local cache already includes the content of a changeset, this operation will refresh it.
     84
     85=== Copying a list of changesets to clipboard ===
     86Select several changeset (`Ctrl+Clic` to select several non-consecutive changesets or `Shift+Click` to select consecutive changesets) then the OS-specific keyboard shortcut (e.g. `Ctrl+C` with Windows) to paste them to the clipboard.
     87
    6788
    6889== Managing a single changeset ==
    6990=== Browsing properties, tags, and content ===
     91The detail view in the lower half of the Changeset Manager consists of four tabs:
     92* **Properties** - displays the basic properties of the currently selected changeset, i.e. its ID or whether the changeset is open or closed
     93* **Tags** - displays the tags assigned to the currently selected changeset
     94* **Content** - displays the changeset content
     95* **Discussion** - displays the changeset discussion, if available
     96
     97Click on either of these tabs to browse the respective information.
     98
     99=== External Changeset viewers ===
     100Click on [[JOSMImage(help/internet)]] on the left in the Properties tab to get a list of external changeset viewers. Clicking on one of them will open the selected changeset at the website of the chosen service. External changeset viewers provide different visual illustrations of the contents of a changeset.
     101
    70102=== Remove a changeset from the local cache ===
     103
     1041. Click on [[JOSMImage(dialogs/delete,24,middle,link=)]] to remove the currently selected changeset from the cache.
     105
     106=== Editing changeset content  ===
     107This is not possible in JOSM.
     108
    71109=== Updating/Downloading changeset content  ===
     110There are two commands available to either update the basic properties of the changeset or to update/download the changeset content:
     111
     112In order to update the changeset properties
     1131. Click on [[JOSMImage(dialogs/changeset/updatechangeset,24,middle,link=)]]
     114
     115In order to update/download the changeset content
     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.
     117
     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.
     120
     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.
     125
     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.
     127
     128=== Download and display the history of objects in the changeset content ===
     129For an object included in the content of a changeset, you may retrieve and display its history.
     130
     1311. Click on the tab **Content**.
     1321. Make sure the changeset content is downloaded. If not, download it first.
     1331. Select some objects in the changeset content.
     1341. Click on [[JOSMImage(dialogs/history)]]. Alternatively, you may select [[JOSMImage(dialogs/history)]] **Show history** from the popup menu.
     135
    72136=== Selecting objects in the changeset content in the Map View ===
     137If the [wikitr:/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.
     138
     1391. Click on [[JOSMImage(dialogs/select)]] in the detail view of the Changeset Manager
     140
     141You can also
     142
     1431. Select the tab **Content** in the detail view
     1441. Select one or more objects in the content
     1451. Click on [[JOSMImage(dialogs/select)]]. Alternatively, you may select [[JOSMImage(dialogs/select)]] **Select in layer** in the popup menu.
     146
    73147=== Zooming to objects in the changeset content  ===
    74 === Download and display the history of objects in the changeset content ===
     148If the [wikitr:/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.
