Intro

This tutorial will teach you about the different parts of Anki and how to use them.

Tutorial

Anki Deck selection window

In this window, you can select the deck that you want to study.

You can see how many cards you need to study, and how many you have studied today.

The New column shows how many new cards you will study today, and the Due column shows you how many cards you need to review today.

To study a deck, click on it. Click ‘Study Now’

The Anki browser window

Access the browser window by clicking Browse.

Parts of the browser window

There are three main parts of the browser window

1. Search bar and search results – Search for notes
2. Card filter sidebar – Look at different groups of cards
3. Editing Area – Edit your notes and add new information

The right-click menu

When you right click on a flashcard/note, you will see different options.

SUSPEND

Suspending a card will temporarily disable it. You won’t see the flashcard when you study. Suspended cards are yellow.

CHANGE DECK

This lets you move cards from one deck to another.

DELETE

Deletes the note and all of its cards permanently.

You can use the keyboard shortcuts instead of right clicking. In the right click menu, you can see all of the keyboard shortcuts.
