Help please… I’m trying to import this Micro deck but it’s saying the note type has changed. How can I make these cards work?

Thanks!

I will look into improving the message to make it clearer. It is telling you that you already have the notes you’re trying to import. If the shared deck author had made changes since the previous import, those updates won’t be pulled in due to the changed notetype, but odds are the content is identical.
