Hi.. Is there a way to keep adding notes to a default note type & deck name. rather than changing each time the note type & deck name. bcz for me every time i add a note, the default note type is image occlusion enhanced. can I change default note type to Basic instead.. any idea ??

also anki doesn’t choose last used note type. I created 20 notes In basic note type but still it makes image occlusion as my default note type in add window.. kindly help..

Check your setting for `Preferences > Editing > Default deck`. [Preferences - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/preferences.html#editing)
