As an early #OpenStreetMap contributor (nowadays not as active as in the early days) I'm proud that one of my children saw some missing elements on the map and asked me to teach how to contribute to the project. After going through the tutorial of the OSM ID editor, child added several newly built houses in our village, correct with the complete address. #ProudDad

When you open the editor the first time, you will be presented a welcome dialog that shows the button to start the tutorial (image 1, "Starte den Rundgang"). In case you missed that, you can open it up later by pushing the question mark icon at the bottom right of the button bar (image 2), and in the opened help dialog you find a button with a map to start it again (image 3). Sorry for having all the screenshots in German, I didn't find a quick method to switch language.

It is an interactive tutorial guiding you through the steps of real editing, it's just on a prepared map that won't get stored to the OpenStreetMap database, so you can explore the features without the fear of creating damage. Just in case you might have expected a Video tutorial. 🙂
