# Node selected

Node selection is described in the [Introduction](../en/Introduction.md). Selected nodes can be moved by dragging in the touch area, you can enable a large drag area in the preferences. You can edit tags for selected nodes.

## Actions  

Note: some of these actions will only be visible if they can actually be executed on the selected node. For example you can only merge a node with a way or node if the selected node is in their tolerance zone.

### ![Undo](../images/undolist_undo.png) Undo

Tapping the icon once will undo the last operation. A long press will display a list of the operations since the last save, if you have undone anything a corresponding "redo" action will be displayed. If the undo results in the current selected object being removed you will be returned to the main screen. *Some operations consist of multiple simpler actions that will be listed as individual items.*

### ![Properties](../images/tag_menu_tags.png) Properties

Starts the property editor on the current selection.

### ![Address](../images/address.png) Add address tags

Adds address tags with prediction. If the node is part of a building way it will further add "entrance=yes" if not present.

### ![Append](../images/tag_menu_append.png) Append 

Add to the way this node is part of. The "Append" action is only available if the node in question is an end node of a way.

### ![Unjoin](../images/tag_menu_split.png) Unjoin 

If a way node is selected that is a member of multiple ways this will create additional nodes at the location and use them instead of the original node in the ways. 

### ![Merge](../images/tag_menu_merge.png) Merge 

Merge the selected node with a way (as a new way node) or with an existing node. To make this tool appear in the toolbar, select a node and move it next to a way. If there are multiple possible target nodes or ways a disambiguation context menu will be shown.

### ![Extract](../images/extract_node.png) Extract node

Extract the selected node from all ways that it is a member of and replace it with a newly created one. The original node retains all tags and relation memberships and remains selected. After extracting, drag the node to its new position.  

### ![TurnRestriction](../images/no_left_turn_light.png) Add turn restriction 

Start creating a turn restriction with this node as "via" member. This action is only available if the node in question is a potential via member, that is it is a member of at least two ways that have a "highway" tag. Ways will be split automatically during the process.

### ![Copy](../images/ic_menu_copy_holo_light.png) Copy
