Hello! My interface (sorry dont know the correct terms in english) looks like this:

 ![Bildschirmfoto 2025-06-21 um 11.15.38](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/3X/8/9/89c380505a6bcfc9749a6bc8c60ea40036c41149.png)

How can I change it so it shows the real title of the cards again and not dots only?

Second Problem:  
I added cards to a deck that does not appear on my main screen (where all the other decks are) neither in the list on the left of the picture above. When I search for them they do appear but I would like to be able to study them in a deck.

Would really appreciate your help!

Can you post a screenshot of that as well? The one above is not scrolled down enough to show the decks.

If there is a deck that is not displaying for you anywhere, it might be placed inside another deck. If it is located there unintentionally (drag-and-dropping can easily lead to such accidents), you can just take it back out. If you want it to remain a subdeck, you can click a `+` sign left to its parent deck to see it on the main screen, or, similarly, the `▶` arrow in the Browser side menu.

Thank you for your reply!  
So the problem is that if I add a card it lets me add it to the deck:

But that specific deck doesn’t show up anywhere else, neither in the Browser side menu or the main page (also not in subdecks). 😕

Regarding the other issue: As you can see on the pictures above (in the middle of the picture), all the titles of the cards are gone and there are only 3 dots each. Do you have any idea how to fix that?

Thank you!

Sorry I might have replied to my own post so lets try this again 🙂

That doesn’t look right, indeed. The only other suggestion I have is to try running `Tools` → `Check Database` and restarting Anki. Also try disabling add-ons if you have any.

I agree with Eltaurus – Check Database will usually solve the “deck does not appear” issue.

If that doesn’t also solve the “[…] in Browse columns” issue, then make your way through the rest of the Troubleshooting Checklist. [Troubleshooting - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/troubleshooting.html)

Doing the “check database” has done the trick! Both issues solved!  
Thank you so very much; I really appreciate you two!  
Thank you! 🫶
