I released a new tool called osm-revert for OpenStreetMap community. It’s aimed to be a direct successor to RevertUI. It’s a faster and smarter way to revert changesets on the platform. It uses the Overpass API to reduce the amount of API calls, making it faster at reverting changesets. It can also automatically resolve conflicts, something that the previous tool, RevertUI, couldn’t do. Plus, it has no limits on the size of the changeset. This solves problems like changeset too big and node and way conflicts.
One of the best things about osm-revert is its ability to automatically resolve conflicts. Before, RevertUI would cancel the whole revert in case of a conflict. With osm-revert, the process of resolving conflicts is fully automated. For example, if a changeset includes a change to a way that is connected to other ways, osm-revert will automatically update those ways to reflect the changes. It will also update any relations that include the changed way. This not only saves time, but also ensures that the data on OpenStreetMap stays accurate and consistent.
Another great feature of osm-revert is its lack of limits on changeset size. RevertUI had limits on the number of changes that could be reverted at once, but osm-revert has none. This is especially helpful for large-scale edits like mass imports or automated edits, which may require the revert of thousands of changes.
You can access osm-revert at https://revert.monicz.dev and start using it right away. Whether you’re a seasoned mapper or new to OpenStreetMap, I think you’ll find osm-revert to be a valuable tool. Try it out and let me know what you think!
