# Using the Inspector
|
|
|
|
The inspector is the user interface element on the right-hand side of the
|
|
page that appears when a feature is selected and allows you to edit its details.
|
|
|
|
### Selecting a Feature Type
|
|
|
|
After you add a point, line, or area, you can choose what type of feature it
|
|
is, like whether it's a highway or residential road, supermarket or cafe.
|
|
The inspector will display buttons for common feature types, and you can
|
|
find others by typing what you're looking for in the search box.
|
|
|
|
Click the 'i' in the bottom-right-hand corner of a feature type button to
|
|
learn more about it. Click a button to choose that type.
|
|
|
|
### Using Forms and Editing Tags
|
|
|
|
After you choose a feature type, or when you select a feature that already
|
|
has a type assigned, the inspector will display fields with details about
|
|
the feature like its name and address.
|
|
|
|
Below the fields you see, you can click icons to add other details,
|
|
like [Wikipedia](http://www.wikipedia.org/) information, wheelchair
|
|
access, and more.
|
|
|
|
At the bottom of the inspector, click 'Additional tags' to add arbitrary
|
|
other tags to the element. [Taginfo](http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/) is a
|
|
great resource for learn more about popular tag combinations.
|
|
|
|
Changes you make in the inspector are automatically applied to the map.
|
|
You can undo them at any time by clicking the 'Undo' button.
|
|
|
|
### Closing the Inspector
|
|
|
|
You can close the inspector by clicking the close button in the top-right,
|
|
pressing the 'Escape' key, or clicking on the map.
