 ## Import steps
 
+- Login to JOSM as your import account user (you can see this in the title bar)
+- Ensure that the MapWithAI plugin is installed and activated (for its validators)
+- Under Preferences > Data Validator, turn on Include POIs under Addresses. (Using my custom version of JOSM)
 - Load processed.geojson into JOSM
-- Zoom in to the area you wish to work on and Download OSM data to a New Layer
-- In the geojson layer, select one neighborhood or city block worth of addresses
-- Click Edit > Merge Selection
-- Delete the selected items you just merged (so you don't try merging them again later)
-- Switch to Data Layer 1 and run the JOSM Validator
-  - An easy way to only validate changes is to press the Upload button, but cancel before actually uploading.
-  - We don't need to worry about validation errors that don't involve our changes.
-- Fix all duplicate housenumber warnings and nearby street not found warnings
-  - An easy way to auto-fix all duplicate housenumbers is to select all duplicates, Search within the selection for `new`, and delete.
-  - Pay special attention to errors like "East Street Northeast" -> "E Street Northeast" which can be mass-corrected.
-- Search for all `new "addr:housenumber" = "0"` elements and delete them.
-- Click Upload, verify there are no further warnings or errors in the changeset
-  - Make sure there are no erroneous Relations or other unwanted objects about to be uploaded.

+- For each area you wish to work on, repeat:
+  - Zoom in to the area you wish to work on and Download OSM data to a New Layer
+  - In the geojson layer, select one neighborhood or city block worth of addresses
+  - Click Edit > **Merge Selection** (it will warn that this isn't the best, continue since you have approval for this import and are taking precautions.)
+    - Make sure you don't accidentally try and upload the processed.geojson data layer directly to OpenStreetMap! The Continue warning looks similar.
+  - **Delete the selected items you just merged (so you don't try merging them again later)**
+  - Switch to Data Layer 1 and run the JOSM Validator
+    - An easy way to only validate changes is to press the Upload button, but cancel before actually uploading.
+    - We don't need to worry about validation errors that don't involve our changes.
+  - Fix all duplicate housenumber warnings and nearby street not found warnings
+    - An easy way to auto-fix all duplicate housenumbers is to **select all duplicates, Find In Selection for `new`, and delete.**
+    - Pay special attention to errors like "East Street Northeast" -> "E Street Northeast" which can be mass-corrected.
+    - Skim the results to see if there are common errors like existing addresses misspelled with new correct addresses over them.
+  - **Search for all `new "addr:housenumber" = "0"` elements and delete them.**
+  - Click Upload, verify there are no further warnings or errors in the changeset
+    - Make sure there are no erroneous Relations or other unwanted objects about to be uploaded.
+    - The Upload window should ideally only indicate that you're adding new objects, not modifying or deleting anything (unless of course you intend to.)
+  - **Upload with this changeset comment** (use the triple "+" icon to paste under Settings):
