     3= Main Help =
     4Welcome to the JOSM Help!
     5The [wikitr:/Introduction Introduction] will guide you to your first successful edit.
     6The [wikitr:/HowTo How Tos] deal with some use cases.
     7
     8== Interface ==#Interface
     9The **[wikitr:/Help/Menu Main menu]** offers under
     10[wikitr:/Help/Menu/File File],
     11[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Edit Edit],
     12[wikitr:/Help/Menu/View View],
     13[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Mode Mode],
     14[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Tools Tools],
     15[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Selection Selection],
     16[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Presets Presets],
     17[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Imagery Imagery],
     18[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Windows Windows],
     19[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Audio Audio] and
     20[wikitr:/Help/Menu/Help Help]
     21all actions possible in JOSM.
     22A search finds every [wikitr:/Help/Action/SearchMenuItems menu item].
     23
     24On the **[wikitr:/Help/MapView Mapview]** all mouse clicks depend on the [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Mode#Workingmode Working mode] previously switched to.
     25New [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object objects] are created in ''Draw mode''.
     26In other modes objects are [wikitr:/Help/Action/Select selected] and edited.
     27
     28* The **[wikitr:/Help/MainToolbar Main toolbar]** has buttons for actions and presets
     29* The panels in the **[wikitr:/Help/ToggleDialogs Sidebar]** inform about the loaded data and the [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/SelectionList#Selection Selection]
     30* The **[wikitr:/Help/StatusBar Status Bar]** shows the drawing position
     31* The Working mode is indicated in the **[wikitr:/Help/EditToolbar Edit toolbar]**.
     32 Therefore the buttons in its upper part are important screen elements.

    18 == Getting Started ==
    19 * [wiki:Introduction Introduction to JOSM]
    20 * [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Josm JOSM page on the OSM wiki]
    21 * [wiki:HowTo How Tos] about JOSM
    22 * [wiki:Help/AudioMapping Audio mapping:] playing voice notes and synchronizing them with your GPS tracks in JOSM
    23 * [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/FAQ FAQ about OSM in general]
    24 * [wiki:Shortcuts Keyboard shortcuts]
     44All screen elements have their own [wikitr:/Help/Action/Help help context] in JOSM.
     45Other dialogs exist
     46for setting [wikitr:/Help/Action/Preferences Preferences], for managing [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/ChangesetManager Changesets], for resolving [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/Conflict Conflicts], for editing [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/RelationEditor Relations] and for browsing the [wikitr:/Help/Action/ObjectHistory History of an object].
     47{{{#!comment
     48Only the non-modal dialogs and the preferences should be listed above
     49Please no additional icons. For example JOSMImage(dialogs/relationlist) may mean the Relation editor, but it is already shown twice in the screenshot for other elements. Offering a third meaning brings no benefit.

    26 == Concepts ==
    27 * [wiki:Help/Concepts/Object Objects] - explains what '''objects''' maps consist of and how these objects are described in detail
    28 * [wiki:Help/Concepts/Conflict Conflict] - explains the basics of '''conflicts''', why they occur, how they are detected and how you can resolve them
    29 * [wiki:Help/Concepts/Changeset Changeset] - explains why you create a '''changeset''' when you upload data to the OSM server
     52=== Changing the User Interface Scale ===
     53You can change the scaling factor of the user interface to better suit your screen or needs:
     541. Go to Edit -> Preferences (or hit F12)
     552. Scroll down to the category 'Advanced Preferences'
     563. In the search box above the list of various configuration entries, enter `gui` to filter the list. This way you will be able to get quickly to the relevant entries.
     574. Adjust elements to your needs by changing entries starting with `gui.scale` or ending with `.font`. For example, to increase everything by 50%, change all of them from '1.0' to '1.5'.
     585. In addition, you can also change only certain Icon sets. As in step 4, filter the list by `iconsize` and change according to your needs. For example, increase the default icon size by changing 'iconsize.default' to '36'.
     596. **Restart** JOSM for the changes to take effect.
