Hey a classmate and me want to share anki decks as we go, each doing a different class. The problem we are running into is how to update each other’s deck as we go. Obviously sharing the new updated deck daily doesn’t work with principles of anki. Is there a simple solution that allows us to add new cards to each others decks as we go? Or somehow link the decks and make a ghost deck and make a new card go into 2 new decks simultaneously (even if it would have to be a shared account)?
Any advice would be helpful.
Any new cards you make since the last share need to be identifiable. You can either do this by tagging or by deck organization...if you want a different way to do it, let me know. I'll put down the way that *I* would do it in your shoes, but know that there are several options on exactly how to do this.
- Each person tag all of the cards that
they make with their name (this is just so if you have a question later, you can ask the person responsible for that content and save some time).
- Each person places all newly made, unshared cards into a deck and name it [Name] [Date].
- Tag that entire deck as 'Shared'
- Export deck
without exporting scheduling information.
- Place these cards back into your cumulative deck and delete [Name] [Date].
- Each person downloads the other person's shared cards. They will import into a deck called [Name] [Date].
- Select all cards and make sure they are tagged 'Shared'. Then, if it annoys you to have duplicate Note types, fix that now (if you don't know what I mean, don't worry about it).
- Move all cards into your cumulative deck.
You basically repeat this process every time you want to share the cards, just by searching for "deck:Cumulative -tag:Shared" and moving those into a new [Name] [Date] deck for the export.
