 If you are happy with all that you have done then you must upload your work to the OSM server. Click on the green up arrow [[Image(source:trunk/images/upload.png,20,middle,link=)]].
 
+This will automatically trigger [Help/Dialog/Validator validation]. Review all validation warnings and resolve all errors ([Help/Preferences/Validator#Listoferrors Complete list of errors and how to fix them]) before you upload. This will prevent unfortunate mistakes such as un-tagged objects or unconnected roads.
+
+Before you upload, add a proper changeset comment and specify what source you used. This is important as it will show other users who see your changesets what this changeset was intended to modify and from where you took the information.

Click on "Upload changes" and your data will be uploaded, saved and visible to everyone else.''
