    5656== Managing the cache of downloaded changesets ==
     57JOSM 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.
    5758
    5859=== Removing changesets from the cache ===
     60Changesets can be removed from the local cache. Removing a changeset from the cache is purely local operation. The changeset isn't deleted on the OSM server. In fact, it is ''not possible'' to delete a changeset on the server.
     61
     62Removing changesets from the local cache can be useful because the local changeset cache consumes memory. You can remove changesets you don't need from the cache in order to free it up.
     63
     64To remove one or more changesets from the local cache
     65  1. Select the changesets in the Changeset Manager
     66  2. Click on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/delete.png)]] or press {{{DEL}}}. Alternatively you may select  [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/delete.png)]]'''Remove from cache''' from the popup menu.
    5967
    6068=== Updating the properties of changesets in the cache ===
     69Properties of changesets can cache 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.

    62 === Downloading/Updating the content of changesets in the cache ===
     71In order to update the properties of one or more changesets
     72 1. Select the changesets in the Changeset Manager
     73 2.  Click on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/changeset/updatechangeset.png)]]. Alternatively you may select  [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/changeset/updatechangeset.png)]]'''Update changeset''' from the popup menu.
     74
     75Note that this will update the changeset properties only. For updating the changeset content, see [wiki:/Help/Dialog/ChangesetManager#UpdateContentMulti below].
     76
     77=== Downloading/Updating the content of changesets in the cache === #UpdateContentMulti
     78A changeset includes a collection of object which have been created, updateded, or  deleted by the changeset. These objects are called the ''changeset content''.
     79The 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.
     80
     81In order to download the changeset content of one or more changesets
     82 1. Select the changesets in the Changeset Manager
     83 2.  Click on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/changeset/downloadchangesetcontent.png)]]. Alternatively you may select  [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/changeset/downloadchangesetcontent.png)]]'''Download changeset content''' from the popup menu.
     84
     85In additionl, the content of a changeset may change over time provided the changeset is still open. The same steps will always retrieve the most recent content for a given changeset. If the local cache already includes the content of a changeset, this operation will update it with the latest content.
