I received the error message for one of my cards because I added a cloze deletion.

Then it took me to an anki support page that said to go to “Tools” then “Empty Cards” so I did and now all of my cards already show me the answer in a preview. PLEASE please help I have no idea how I am supposed to be able to study them now they all show me the answer.

I still have my deck on my App on my phone that I have not synced to the web yet so I could try to Sync it so my phone version overrides the computer version? I don’t know is this an option? Or can I undo what I did to my deck on my laptop?

Can you click the button “Undo” in the menu? If you can’t, try clicking “switch profile” and open an old version of your database.
