[[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/notes/note_open.png,middle,margin-right=20)]] ''Keyboard shortcut:''''' {{{none yet}}}'''

This dialog presents a list of [osmwiki:Notes OSM notes] and allows to create new, comment, close or reopen notes. These notes can also be edited on the main page [http://www.osm.org osm.org] (right toolbar).

== Showing and hiding the Notes Dialog Window ==
Show or hide this dialog window by
* using the Window menu (or, to hide, the dialog's buttons). 
* clicking on [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/notes/note_open.png,20,middle)]] in the tool palette on the left of the JOSM main window

== Downloading notes ==
There are different possibilities:
* Use the "Notes" checkbox in the [[Help/Action/Download|download dialog]].
 * Older versions: Before r8071 (Notes support got enabled by default): just set the [[Help/Preferences/Advanced|advanced preference]] `osm.notes.enableDownload` to `true` and restart. Before r7809 (due to [ticket:10845]): be sure to enable this Notes dialog before you download notes.
* Search for a Note via the [wiki:Help/Menu/File File menu] → [[Image(source:/trunk/images/note_search.png)]] [wiki:Help/Action/SearchNotesDownload Search Notes...]
* Use File menu → [[Image(source:/trunk/images/openlocation.png)]] [wiki:Help/Action/OpenLocation Open Location...] and enter a special URL.
* Use File menu → [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/notes/note_open.png)]] [wiki:Help/Action/DownloadNotesInView Download notes in current view]
* Use the "Download notes in current view" button of this Dialog
* Downloading via [wiki:Help/Preferences/RemoteControl remote control] on osm.org is not yet working (see #9907 and [https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/957 github issue])

||  [[Image(source:/trunk/images/upload.png)]]  || Upload note changes to server || After you created a note or made changes to existing notes, the changes are not uploaded automatically. You need to press this button. If you try to delete the Notes layer or close JOSM with not yet uploaded note changes, JOSM will ask, if you want to upload the changes. ||
||  || (left click) || A left click on a notes symbol in the map view or on a list entry in the Notes Dialog Window opens the note's content in a tooltip in the map area
||  || (right click) || right clicking a note's tooltip copies this note's API URL into your clipboard ||

Regarding ''development'' state: The only main features missing, compared to the older [osmwiki:JOSM/Plugins/Notes notes plugin], is a way to open the note in a browser. [/query?status=assigned&status=needinfo&status=new&status=reopened&component=Core+notes&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=type&col=priority&col=milestone&col=component&col=time&report=1&order=priority List of open tickets].

== Change advanced notes settings ==

There are some advanced settings for notes. To change them first download some notes and then go to the [[Help/Preferences/Advanced|advanced preference]] and search for the following keys:

* `osm.notes.daysClosed`: you can specify how long (in days) the notes should still be downloaded after they were closed. The default value is `7` (You can set this value also under [wiki:Help/Preferences/Connection Connection Preferences].)
 * set a number > 0 to set the days (e.g. `10` means a note which was closed 10 days ago will be downloaded, a note which was closed 11 days ago will not)
 * set it to `0`, to download only open notes
 * set it to `-1`, to download all created notes ever (of course only in the selected area and limited to the maximum download limit, see below)
* `osm.notes.downloadLimit`: you can specify the maximum number of downloaded notes. The default value is `1000`. The maximum value is `10000`. There is a warning displayed if you reach the limit.
