== The Edit Toolbar ==

The edit toolbar is placed at the [wiki:Help#JOSMinterface left side] of the JOSM Window and is splitted into two parts.
* The upper part allows to choose different working modes. There is always exactly one mode active.
* The lower part allows to enable/disable the windows on the right side. More information about these windows see [Help/ToggleDialogs ToggleDialogs].

== Working modes ==
Click on a button or use the shortcut to activate its working mode.

There might be more buttons depending on the loaded plugins and activated items.
