How to finish an editing session?

0

Sorry if it's a silly question, but after saving some map changes in Potl.2, what's the proper way to finish the editing session? I've been logging out and closing/re-opening the browser in the hope that it completes the 'changeset' that way - but how does it really work?

Having logged back in, my profile shows the most recent changeset as "still editing"

You can press C to close the changeset after saving it

...but you really don't need to: it's just a tidiness thing. The changeset will close itself after an hour. Changes are saved to the database when you click 'Save', not when you close the changeset.
