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.

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".
