Good afternoon!!

I use AnkiWeb and the Anki app on my laptop at the same time. Usually, when I click sync, the Anki app version updates with the AnkiWeb version, and the cards I created in the app are transferred to AnkiWeb.

However, lately, my AnkiWeb has been out of date. I’ve tried everything I could think of. I’ve moved it and turned it back on, clicked sync in the app, and refreshed the page.

Can you please tell me how I can sync AnkiWeb with the app version?

I use AnkiWeb on my phone to review throughout the day, please help me, haha.

Try Force full sync in Settings \> Advanced, then choose which one you want to keep

Keep in mind that this will overwrite the version currently on Anki Web (including any new cards and reviews), and may thus not be the ideal approach to take if there are a lot of changes you want to keep.

You can’t initiate a sync from within AnkiWeb. If you want AnkiDroid and Anki desktop to sync, you need to initiate the sync there. _Instead of forcing a full sync_ (and risking data loss), make sure you’ve tried syncing on those devices. If you get any errors, tell us what those are.

I always try to sync through the Anki app. Usually, when I click on the sync app, my AnkiWeb automatically syncs.

However, my problem is that lately I’ve been doing what I always do: clicking sync in Ankidroid, and nothing changes in AnkiWeb.

- Does the sync in AnkiDroid appear to complete successfully?
- Are you getting any error messages?
- Have you checked Settings \> Sync to make sure you’re syncing with the correct AnkiWeb account?
