How to make only one subdeck show new cards? (Beginner question)

Anki Help

Is there a way to make only the subdeck Anki is using today show new cards, while the others stay at 0?

Hi everyone,

I’m new to Anki and need help with my deck setup.

What I want:

  • I have a main deck with many subdecks.
  • I want to study 60 new cards and 600 reviews per day.
  • New cards should only come from the first subdeck until it’s empty. Then, Anki should take new cards from the second subdeck, and so on.

The problem:

  • Anki (I think) follows my daily limits, but in the deck list, it still shows new cards (blue number) in all subdecks.
  • I only want the active subdeck (the one Anki is pulling cards from today) to show a number for new cards, and all other subdecks should show 0 for the day.

My question:

:pushpin: Is there a way to make only the subdeck Anki is using today show new cards, while the others stay at 0?
:pushpin: If not, is there an add-on that can do this?

Thanks for your help! :blush:

The behavior you’re looking for is the default behavior.

So, by subdecks that “show new cards” – Do you mean introduce New cards in your study session from that subdeck? Or do you mean display a number on the blue counter in the main Decks screen?
