Reviewing Flashcards

Stephen Mwangi edited this page Aug 29, 2021 · 1 revision

Once done creating cards, click on the flashcards button on the left ribbon to start reviewing the flashcards. After a card is reviewed, a HTML comment is added containing the next review day, the interval, and the card's ease.

<!--SR:!2021-08-20,13,290-->

Wrapping in a HTML comment makes the scheduling information not visible in the notes preview. For single-line cards, you can choose whether you want the HTML comment on the same line or on a separate line in the settings. Putting them on the same line prevents breaking of list structures in the preview or after auto-formatting.

Note that you can skip a card by simply pressing S (case doesn't matter).

Faster Review

To review faster, use the following keyboard shortcuts:

  • Space/Enter => Show answer
  • 0 => Reset card's progress (Sorta like Again in Anki)
  • 1 => Review as Hard
  • 2 or Space => Review as Good
  • 3 => Review as Easy

Context

If the parent note has heading(s), the flashcard will have a title containing the context.

Taking the following note:

#flashcards

# Trivia

## Capitals

### Africa

Kenya::Nairobi

### North America

Canada::Ottawa

The flashcard for Kenya::Nairobi will have Trivia > Capitals > Africa as the context/title whereas the flashcard for Canada::Ottawa will have Trivia > Capitals > North America as the context/title.

Open parent file

The Open file link in the review modal allows you to open the file that contains the flashcard being reviewed.

Deleting cards

To delete a card, simply delete the scheduling information & the card text.

Ignoring cards

You can wrap flashcards in HTML comments i.e. <!--Card text <!--SR:2021-08-20,13,290--> --> to prevent it from showing up in your review queues. You can always remove the wrapping comment later.
