I have always been real good about ensuring my business and the surrounding businesses (and other locations) are up to date in Apple, Bing, and Google Maps. I just started looking at OpenStreet Maps and see it has not been updated in over 3 years (and 2 locations ago). I updated the address, but the marker did not move. I do not see a way to move the marker to the correct location.

I am guessing I need to move all of the info (most of it is inaccurate) to where my business is currently located and then mark the old location as closed, or is there a better way to do that?

    @nokturne213 To move a node, one need only drag can drop it, or press M to move it. It will not move if you only change the address tags. But if it moved quite far, you may want to retag the original node with whatever it has there now (or as a vacant shop if it is vacant,) and then make a new node at its new location.

      When I try and do that it wants to move the area of the building too, not only the point.

      Okay, I had to extract the point then I could move the point to my current shop.

        @nokturne213 You can right click the building and “extract” the shop from the building. You should probably move the address information back onto the building, though.

            We don’t do “approval” here, all changes are live directly. However, it might be that your application of choice simply didn’t update yet.
