Programs, Tools and Hints for Waze editing and administration

- With any editing issue, do a Permalink, then an F5 screen refresh to attempt to correct the WME issue.

- Toggle the "Lock" checkbox on and off when multiple segments are selected to unlock all segments. (Checkbox displays as unlocked if any segments selected are not locked.) (adjust these instructions for Ranks lock changes)

- Toggle the Shift-A short-cut key to see updated turn restrictions.

- Stubborn Nodes. Disconnect segments from a node, then reconnect them when nodes will not connect properly.

- Zoom Chrome to 90% (less will lose WME layer visibility then use F11 to maximize editing area for screen captures, etc.

- Edit the Permalink in the URL to remove the first letter "T" in the layers parameter to be able to see the entire county, with AM layers, Roads, and Editable Area layers still active.

- Change the "www" in a shared Dropbox URL to "dl" to allow embedded image viewing in Private Messages, since attachments are not permitted.
