 === Browsing properties, tags, and content ===
+The detail view in the lower half of the Changeset Manager consists of three tabs:

+ * '''Tags''' - displays the tags assigned to the currently selected changeset 
+ * '''Content''' - displays the changeset content 
+
+Click on either of these tabs to browse the respective information.

 === Zooming to objects in the changeset content  ===
+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. 
 
+In order to zoom to "zoom to the changeset" 
+ 1. Click on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/autoscale/selection.png)]] in the detail view of the Changeset Manager

+For an object included in the content of a changeset, you may retrieve and display its history.
