Hi everyone,
I have been trying to upload new anki decks and it is not working, it did work before. I do have quite a few decks. However, i was asked to update as well. I think I have updated it, I am not sure. Can anyone please help me? I am so confused.
What do you mean by upload and where can’t you see what you expect?
I have tried to import the .csv file from what i had made from google sheets. Then, when I had import it, it says the cards or notes are skipped. It says that it is on my ankimobile or ankiweb, but I can’t find it. Ihope this makes sense.
If all cards are skipped, they are already in your collection (maybe from one of the earlier import attempts), and you had the importing setting to preserve existing notes. It only compares the notes to your collections locally, nothing you have on ankiweb or ankimobile (assuming you are doing this from the desktop app) should affect this process.
To check the notes that are already in your collection, go to Browse menu and try searching for some of the words from the csv you are trying to import.
More context is needed to understand what you are trying to achieve. I can only assume you were asked to update existing notes for some course you have and given an updated spreadsheet. In that case, you would only need to redo the importing, setting the importing options to “Update”:
The notes that appear modified in the spreadsheet should have status “updated” instead of “skipped” after the import.
If you hover over the “Details” rows of the post-import report, it will tell you the reason why each of those notes was skipped.
Thank you everyone, I have managed to solve that first solution. However, with one of my decks. Instead of the names being on front and back, both sides are only on the front. How do i fix this problem, for example, it looks like this “Ne, no”. And anki will not let me do it on front and back, it is only on the front and it is only on the semicolon function. If this makes sense?
If you are referring to an importing issue that does not properly split your spreadsheet into fields, you should change the “Field Separator” to “Comma” and verify that the parsed columns in the table look as they should before proceeding with the import.
If the data is split into fields as expected, but you see both fields on the front of the card, you should edit your note type, cutting the field you want to move to the back from the front template and pasting it to the back template.
