I just started “playing” Street Complete and noticed there was no way to add stuff like new bemches amd trash cans to the map. I found the “create note” feature and started using that for this purpose.
Before I continue like thisI just wamted to check with you guys and see; Am I doing this right?

I made some note about a new trash can, some new bench and some new stairs.
How do you add stairs in StreetComplete? I already had a few situations where knowing how to add stairs on an existing path while being outside would have been really useful
You actually don’t need a quest, although it does make it easier to access. If you go to the “Surface” layer you can add steps like so:
- Tap on a path to select it.
- If you need to select a smaller section, tap the 3 dots in the bottom left and select “Split Way”.
- To make them steps, tap the 3 dots in the bottom left and tap “These are steps”.
You need a quest for the way you want to add stairs to. Then when answering you select the other option (“Äh…”) different along the way (“entlang des weges unterschiedlich”). Now you can zoom in and split the way. Split it where the first and where the last step of the stairs is. Now you made three ways out of the one. The middle way should be the stairs. A quest should be ready to be answered for the way part to be stairs. Select this quest and go to other answers (“Äh…”) and select the option is actually steps (“Das ist eine Treppe”). Now you changed the way part to be stairs.
