     9**Presets** in JOSM are menu-driven shortcuts to tag common object types in OpenStreetMap. They provide you with a user friendly interface to edit one or more objects at a time, suggest additional keys and values you may wish to add to those objects, and most importantly, prevent you from having to enter keys and values by hand.
     10
     11There are three types of Presets available to you in JOSM. Adding or removing any of these items requires restarting JOSM.
     121. The **Internal Preset** list, defined in [https://josm.openstreetmap.de/browser/trunk/data/defaultpresets.xml defaultpresets.xml], is the default set of presets available in the JOSM [https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/Menu/Presets Presets] menu. Changes to the Internal Presets requires modification of the JOSM source code.
     132. JOSM user-community created (and published) **Available presets**, which can be enabled through the [Help/Preferences/Map#TaggingPresets "Tagging Presets" tab in Preferences > Map Settings]. The full list of these Available presets, and how to publish a new one you create, appears below.
     143. **Custom Tagging Presets** files, for cases where you want to use customized Presets but they are not published to JOSM as an Available preset. Customized presets can be added through the [Help/Preferences/Map#TaggingPresets "Tagging Presets" tab in Preferences > Map Settings] menu, either by URL, or by filename on your local filesystem. The format of a Custom Tagging Presets .xml file appears at [wiki:TaggingPresets TaggingPresets].
