Undoing mistakes

If you make a mistake while editing, you can change it before it is
saved to the server, or cancel it entirely with the Esc key. But if
you've saved it and realise you've made a mistake, you can also
"revert" to the earlier version.

To go back ("revert") to an earlier version of a way:

    * Select the way and press 'H' (for "history").
    * A pop-up menu will appear, showing all the times when the way
was saved previously (and by whom).
    * Select the one you want, and click the 'Revert' button.
