# Editing & Saving
|
|
|
|
This editor is designed to work primarily online, and you're accessing
|
|
it through a website right now.
|
|
|
|
### Selecting Features
|
|
|
|
To select a map feature, like a road or point of interest, click
|
|
on it on the map. This will highlight the selected feature, open a panel with
|
|
details about it, and show a menu of things you can do with the feature.
|
|
|
|
Multiple features can be selected by holding the 'Shift' key, clicking,
|
|
and dragging on the map. This will select all features within the box
|
|
that's drawn, allowing you to do things with several features at once.
|
|
|
|
### Saving Edits
|
|
|
|
When you make changes like editing roads, buildings, and places, these are
|
|
stored locally until you save them to the server. Don't worry if you make
|
|
a mistake - you can undo changes by clicking the undo button, and redo
|
|
changes by clicking the redo button.
|
|
|
|
Click 'Save' to finish a group of edits - for instance, if you've completed
|
|
an area of town and would like to start on a new area. You'll have a chance
|
|
to review what you've done, and the editor supplies helpful suggestions
|
|
and warnings if something doesn't seem right about the changes.
|
|
|
|
If everything looks good, you can enter a short comment explaining the change
|
|
you made, and click 'Save' again to post the changes
|
|
to [OpenStreetMap.org](http://www.openstreetmap.org/), where they are visible
|
|
to all other users and available for others to build and improve upon.
|
|
|
|
If you can't finish your edits in one sitting, you can leave the editor
|
|
window and come back (on the same browser and computer), and the
|
|
editor application will offer to restore your work.
