Cards — Add / Edit View

6.1 — Left Panel — Card List with Reorder Toolbar

The left panel in the edit view works similarly to the display view, but with additional tools for reordering cards when Custom card order is enabled for the deck.

Creating a New Card

1. Click the New Card button at the top of the card list.
2. A new empty card is created and selected automatically. The editor fields in the centre become blank, ready for you to type.

Sort Order

Just like the display view, you can click the Sort button to change how cards are ordered in the list.

Reorder Toolbar (Custom Sort Mode)

If the deck has Custom card order enabled (see Decks > Custom Card Order), a reorder toolbar appears above the card list with four buttons:

• Move Up Alt + ↑ — Moves the selected card one position up in the list.
• Move Down Alt + ↓ — Moves the selected card one position down in the list.
• Make Sub-item Alt + → — Indents the selected card to become a child (sub-item) of the card above it. This creates a parent/child relationship visible in the card list.
• Promote to Top-level Alt + ← — Removes the indentation from a sub-item, making it a top-level card again.

Context Menu

You can also reorder cards by right-clicking on a card in the list. The context menu offers the same four options: Move Up, Move Down, Make Sub-item, and Promote to Top-level.

6.2 — Key Field

The Key field is the main title or heading of your card. It appears prominently when you view the card and is used as the question prompt in quizzes (unless you change the quiz settings).

1. Click the Key text box at the top of the editor area.
2. Type the title for your card. For example, if you are learning vocabulary, type the word here. Maximum length is 150 characters.

6.3 — Rich Text Editor

Below the Key field, there are three rich text editors — one each for Description, Example, and Note (or whatever custom labels your deck uses). Each editor has its own formatting toolbar at the top.

Here is what each toolbar button does:

Font Family

Click the Font Family dropdown to change the typeface of the selected text. Choose from available system fonts like Arial, Calibri, Times New Roman, and others.

Font Size

Click the Font Size dropdown to make the selected text larger or smaller. Sizes range from very small to very large.

Font Colour

Click the colour button (a coloured “A” icon) to change the colour of selected text.

1. Click the colour button in the toolbar. A flyout opens.
2. The flyout shows a grid of standard colours. Click any colour to apply it to the selected text.
3. If you need a specific shade, click Custom Colour to open a full colour picker with a spectrum, sliders, and a hex colour input.

Bold, Italic, Underline

Use these buttons to format selected text:

• Bold — Click the B button or press Ctrl + B. Makes text thicker and heavier.
• Italic — Click the I button or press Ctrl + I. Makes text slanted.
• Underline — Click the U button or press Ctrl + U. Adds a line under the text.

Lists

• Bullet List — Click the bullet list button to start a bulleted (unordered) list. Each time you press Enter, a new bullet point is added.
• Numbered List — Click the numbered list button to start a numbered (ordered) list.

Text Alignment

Three alignment buttons let you position text within the editor:

• Align Left — Text sticks to the left margin (the default).
• Align Centre — Text is centred horizontally.
• Align Right — Text sticks to the right margin.

Insert Hyperlink

You can add clickable links to websites or other resources.

1. Select the text you want to turn into a link, or place your cursor where you want the link to appear.
2. Click the Link button in the toolbar, or press Ctrl + K.
3. A dialog box appears with two fields:
   • URL — Type or paste the web address (for example, https://example.com).
   • Display text — Type the text that should appear as the clickable link. If you selected text before opening the dialog, it is pre-filled here.
4. Click OK to insert the link, or Cancel to close without inserting.

Insert Image

You can add images to your card content.

1. Place your cursor where you want the image to appear.
2. Click the Image button in the toolbar.
3. A file picker dialog opens. Navigate to the image file on your computer and select it.
4. A resize dialog appears allowing you to set the scale of the image (from 25% to 100% of its original size). The default scale is set in Options > Card Editor.
5. Click OK to insert the image at the chosen size.

Insert Card Link

Card links let you create connections between cards. When you click a card link in the display view, it navigates you to the linked card. The linked card will also show a “Linked From” backlink in its metadata panel.

1. Place your cursor where you want the card link to appear.
2. Click the Card Link button in the toolbar.
3. A Card Picker dialog opens showing all cards in the current deck. You can search for a specific card using the search box at the top of the dialog.
4. Click on the card you want to link to, then click Select.
5. A clickable link to that card is inserted in your content. It displays the linked card’s Key (title) as the link text.

6.4 — Difficulty Rating

On the right side of the editor, you can set a difficulty rating for the card on a scale of 1 to 5 stars (1 = easiest, 5 = hardest). This rating is used when filtering cards by difficulty in quizzes.

1. Find the star rating area on the right side of the page.
2. Click or drag the stars to set the difficulty level.

6.5 — Tag Picker

The Tag Picker lets you apply or remove tags on the current card. Tags must first be created at the deck level (see Tags).

1. Click the Tags button on the right side of the editor.
2. A flyout opens showing all tags defined for this deck, each with a checkbox.
3. Tick the checkbox next to each tag you want to apply. Untick any you want to remove.
4. Close the flyout. The changes are applied when you save the card.

6.6 — Save Button

After making your changes, you must save the card to keep them.

1. Click the Save button.
2. The card is saved with all your changes. A confirmation message appears briefly in the status bar at the bottom of the window.

6.7 — Duplicate Card

If you want to create a new card that is similar to an existing one, you can duplicate it instead of starting from scratch.

1. Select the card you want to duplicate in the card list.
2. Click the Duplicate Card button.
3. A new card is created with all the same content (Key, Description, Example, Note, tags, and difficulty) as the original. It appears in the card list.
4. Edit the duplicated card as needed and click Save.
