Hello everybody, I am not sure if it is called Templates what I need but I will describe what I want to do: In Japanese I have 4 Fields: Root Te Form Masu English I created them and they all show up in Edit Current with the words I input. I have no problems to format the cards (with type in the answer) but what I can not find is the continuation: In the Front Template, I type the answer and at the back, it shows me if I was right, and when I click Enter, it advances to the next word. But what I would like is that a new Template opens with the same Root word and I need to type in the answer for Masu form I found lots of tutorials but they were all rather confusing Thank you.

What you have is a note with 4 fields: Root Te Form Masu English Now, from that note, you can create two different card types: **Card 1** Root Te Form English **Card 2** Root Masu English To add a second card type, go to Browser \> cards and then: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/4/4011dc0d4657a1f09b00d6947c50d2d87028a01f.png) Please, also check this: [https://docs.ankiweb.net/getting-started.html#key-concepts](https://docs.ankiweb.net/getting-started.html#key-concepts) ---

I have created the 2nd card, but it does not show it. When I press Enter only the Te-Form card shows up I don’t know how I can activate the 2nd card to show up after the first one. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/e/e0712742660eeb7e4825bde3811add10c54c91ce.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/8/83e6f353a99ea1c344069fae8418df0d73da8f83.png) Please tell me what I am missing out.

You can control the order **new cards** will appear in with the [reposition](https://docs.ankiweb.net/browsing.html?#cards) command. Make sure the “Bury new siblings” option (in the deck options) is deactivated. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/3/3f42e3930c50fbf5d4b5de3d20acbd7ea898a95c.png) ---

oh Thank you… out of a strange reason, both cards show up now, but in different orders, which would be ok. I have another problem: As I mentioned I have 4 fields: Root, Te-Form, Masu Form and English. Now those 4 fields apply to all my decks and I wanted to create an other deck and again all 4 Fields show up. How would I have those Fields only for that deck alone? ---

Change the note type for the new cards. Take a look here, understanding these concepts is important in order to use the program: [https://docs.ankiweb.net/getting-started.html#key-concepts](https://docs.ankiweb.net/getting-started.html#key-concepts) ---

Thank you for the links. I will try to study them but I find them very confusing. ---
