    88The **JOSM Validator** is a feature of JOSM which checks and fixes invalid data.

    1212* Click on the [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/validator.png,15)]] ''Validation'' button at the bottom of the validator panel or press {{{Shift+V}}} to run the validation process:
    13  * If there are currently no [wiki:/Help/Dialog/SelectionList selected objects], then it checks all objects in [wiki:/Help/Dialog/LayerList#LayerButtons the current layer].
     13 * If there are currently no [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/SelectionList selected objects], then it checks all objects in [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/LayerList#LayerButtons the current layer].
    1414 * If there are selected objects, then it checks only selected objects.
    1515* Most of the errors must be manually fixed, while some of them can be automatically fixed by selecting the error or errors and clicking the [[Image(source:/trunk/images/dialogs/fix.png,15)]] ''Fix'' button.
    1616* Use the right click menu to "Zoom to problem".
    17 * Multiple objects with the same symptom are [wiki:Help/Validator/MapCSSTagChecker#Grouping grouped together].

    1919The validator is an automatic test tool. It can show you errors in the data, but it is not perfect and may also tell you errors, which indeed aren't errors ("false positives"). Thus every by the validator marked object should be checked by the user before changing it.

    47 Some validator tests include a check whether the tested object is in or out of the downloaded area to avoid false positives. The not downloaded area is displayed with a yellow hatching. Downloaded ways can end in the not downloaded area. If e.g. a waterway ends in the downloaded area then the validator warns that it should be connected to another waterway. If the waterway ends out of the downloaded area then the validator will not warn because it doesn't know if there is really an error because the possible connected waterway was not downloaded. The validator will also not warn if there was never an area download in this data layer (there is no yellow hatching in this layer). Such a layer exists when you e.g. create a [wiki:Help/Action/NewLayer new empty layer] or when you download single objects via [Action/Download#DownloadfromOverpassAPI Overpass]. In both cases the data is assumed as incomplete and handled like out of the downloaded area to avoid false positives and a lot unnecessary warnings.
