Reversing Edits

Posted by PColumbus73 on 6 February 2017 in English.

Afternoon everyone,

I need to fix some unauthorized edits in Wustesonne. Is there a way I can ‘Undo’ or restore the area to it’s previous state?

Thanks for your help!

If you’re using JOSM, there’s a reverter plugin, which worked for me when I had some unauthorized edits to get rid of. It’s documented here.

For me, it was just a question of getting the list of offending changesets using the History, and entering their IDs in reverse order.

What if the edits were made with iD and not Josm?

Doesn’t matter what the edits were made using; if you use JOSM then the reverter plugin can help you out. If you don’t use JOSM then i’m sure somebody can help if you let them know the changesets.

The edits were minor enough that I could fix them without the reverter. But it is helpful knowing about the reverter plugin for the future.
