Getting Started
Create your first deck, add cards, and complete a useful first review session.Use this guide to reach a reliable study loop before importing a large library.
1. Choose one first deck
Start with one clear learning objective. Good first decks are small, specific, and easy to judge. Avoid importing an entire subject archive until you know how the daily queue feels.
| Goal | Recommended deck type |
|---|---|
| mixed facts, diagrams, or varied prompts | Universal |
| lightweight front/back material | Simple |
| language terms, pronunciation, examples | Vocabulary |
| notes, excerpts, and source-based study | Notebook |
| assessment-style questions | Quiz Set |
2. Add a small sample
Add 10 to 30 cards manually, through spreadsheet import, or from a small Anki package. Check that front, back, fields, media, categories, and tags display correctly before scaling.
3. Configure the learning plan
Set a conservative daily new-card count, choose the queue order, and keep reviews manageable. The first week is for learning your real pace, not maximizing volume.
4. Study honestly
Answer with missed, hard, good, or easy based on recall quality. Honest grading produces better scheduling than trying to protect a streak.
5. Sync and protect the deck
Sign in before relying on cross-device study. Let sync finish after major edits, imports, or media changes. If you work offline, sync before switching devices.
First-week checklist
- Keep new cards low until review load stabilizes.
- Split overloaded cards into one recall target each.
- Add images or audio only when they improve recall.
- Review a few imported cards before importing hundreds.
- Read Learning & Review when the queue behavior is unclear.
