Can you explain a bit more about what you're doing - perhaps it would help to put a screenshot on an image-hosting site and link to that?

If you using either the iD or Potlatch2 editors, the save the button will not appear until after you have plotted a point or a line.

Very simple to explain. I made changes and can't save them because the button is not active means it is grey not blue.

I think he means that a changeset comment is required in iD for uploading changes.

it is? I just tried it. Good, I did not know. Not so good, that the user seems to get no hint why the button is not active (no tooltip, no flashing red comment field highlight, no popup after clicking the button).
