I NEED HELPPP. I use the anki milesdown deck and I messed something up in my settings so that the my cards are showing the clozed answer before I even flip the card. I went to look at what could have possibly happened and see that my card type says “card 1” instead of “close”. I’ve been looking all over to find a way to switch it but can’t . I think this could be the reason why my cards are displaying the answer before hand. What should I do???
It looks like you changed the note type from Cloze to something else. What note type are these now?
Before we try to figure out what you did and fix it moving forward – can you just go back to what you had before?
The fastest ways to get back to before you made those changes are --
-
If you want to roll-back changes you’ve made just now (and haven’t closed or synced since then) – Edit > Undo [Ctrl Z] the change. [If you select it from the menu Anki will describe which change it is reversing with each click (useful when you can’t see where the change is happening!).]
-
If you want to roll-back changes made longer ago than that – Restore from an automatic or manual backup, Restoring an Automatic Backup (Recovering from Data Loss) - FAQ [but you’ll lose any reviews and changes you’ve made since that backup was created].
- If you just want to grab one thing from a backup (like the text of a template, or one deck out of many, or a set of notes/cards that use a particular note type), you can minimize data loss by importing the backup into a brand new (temporary) profile, find what you’re looking for, copy/export it, and then import it into your main profile.
-
Force a one-way sync and download from AnkiWeb – you’ll lose any reviews and changes you made since your last sync.
If it’s too late for any of that, and you’re not sure what you did to make that change, we’ll need to look at where you are now and see if we can set you right.
