= Expert mode
[[JOSMImage(expert,48,link=)]]

In Expert mode all screen elements are visible.
By default the amount of elements visible for new users is reduced.
This should protect newbies from doing unwanted things. 
Most actions are still accessible by their Shortcut keys even when Expert mode is disabled.

== Enabling Expert mode
It can be switched like this:

''[wikitr:/Help/Menu/View View menu]'' > [[JOSMImage(expert)]] ''Expert Mode'' \\
 or \\ 
 ''[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Edit Edit menu]'' > [[JOSMImage(preference)]] ''[wikitr:/Help/Action/Preferences Preferences…]'' > Checkbox ''Expert mode'' at the bottom left.

== Features hidden
The following features are only visible when the Expert mode is enabled. 
This list is probably incomplete.
