AnkiCollab [Official Support]

Anki Add-ons
1

This is the official support thread for my add-on AnkiCollab (1957538407). (unable to post links)

If you encounter any issues, please post them here or on discord, as I will not regularly check the AnkiWeb listing.

Apologies for the name. I hadn’t realized it was already taken till I was about to publish it, but since the original hasn’t been touched in 4 years, I hope the other author doesn’t care.

I also plan on making a proper FAQ and “Getting Started” Guide some time soon with @andre_angelo

The project is still pretty new, there is tons of stuff I haven’t considered, but I had to start somewhere and hopefully it can be useful to somebody one day.

Looking forward to hearing any kind of feedback (positive or negative)

Is there a way to have multiple maintainers for the same deck as opposed to 1 lead maintainer and multiple subscribers?

not right now, but it is on my todo list and will be added this week.

Multiple Maintainers are now supported. :slight_smile: @fgv432

I’ve just gotten ankicollab and my friend and I have created decks and subscribed to them but our changes havent been reflected on each other’s devices. I’ve tried syncing, re-opening the app, ‘check for new content’ and it doesnt seem to be working. Is there something i’m missing?

You need to suggest the changes you make, approve them on the website (as the owner/a maintainer) and only then will they be visible to your subscribers.

See this guide for more details: AnkiCollab-Plugin/getting_started_maintainer.md at main · CravingCrates/AnkiCollab-Plugin · GitHub

Also, we have a discord server that you can use to ask questions in a more conversational way, if you prefer: AnkiCollab

Thank you so much! I wasn’t sure what that box meant so I didn’t click it but that does makes sense. Sorry for the silly question.

I’ve just published several decks to share with a classmate, but sending the codes for a dozen decks is a little confusing and tedious. Is there a way she can “follow” me as a publisher/author and see the decks I have uploaded to the AnkiCollab site?

Hey, no there is no way to “follow” a certain author. One suggestion I have for you guys is to simply put all these decks in one “super deck” and publish that instead. That way you can extend it and add new (sub)decks later and she will get those automatically. It also only requires her to add one subscription and not each deck individually.
