    46 The Properties Pane: The first step in adding tags is to be sure the Properties Pane is open on the right hand side of JOSM. The 8th button on the left (an icon with a wrench over a document) should be highlighted. If it is not highlighted, click the wrench button or hit `Alt+Shift+P`. You will see the  Properties Pane, which has three buttons: 1) a plus sign with "Add" next to it, 2) "Edit" and 3) "Delete."
     46The first step in adding tags is to be sure the [wiki:Help/Dialog/TagsMembership Tags/Membership Dialog] is open on the right hand side of JOSM. The [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/propertiesdialog.png,20,middle)]] button on the left should be highlighted. If it is not highlighted, click on it or hit `Alt+Shift+P`. You will see the Tags/Membership Dialog, which has three buttons: 1) [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/add.png,middle)]] '''Add''', 2) [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/edit.png,middle)]]'''Edit''' and 3) [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/delete.png,middle)]]'''Delete'''.
