Icons, links and descriptions of some plugin working modes are missing.

The edit toolbar is placed at the 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 ToggleDialogs.

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