im trying to merge my progress from my old profile with ankingV11, on which I have all of my sketchy micro and pathoma progress, with my new profile with bankingV12, on which I have all of my sketchy pharm progress.
I’ve tried exporting the decks individually while checking “include scheduling information”, but it seems to me that since the cards already exist on the newer ankingV12 deck as well, they just don’t get updated with the proper scheduling (remain as new cards, even when I tried importing with merging option enabled).
It looks like you’re already getting help with this on Reddit . It sounds like you’re doing things in the wrong order, but BrainRavens will be the one who knows.
Oh, and now I see that @brainravens referred you back over here. Sorry to be giving you the shuffle – we are a team of independents! [And this is one of the problems that comes from duplicate posting.]
Yes, I’m happy to help, but one of you might have to explain some of the finer points to me, because I’m not an AnKing user. It sounds like you’ve got progress in v11 on one set of cards, and progress in v12 on a different set of cards. And you want the v12 notes/cards, while preserving the progress you’ve made in both decks?
It’s not 100% clear to me what you’ve already melded together, so let’s start by clearing the decks [metaphorically ]. Would something like this work?
Make a new fresh profile
Export from your v11 profile, with scheduling.
Import that into your new profile, with scheduling.
Export from your v12 profile, without scheduling (or just a clean copy of the v12 deck would work too?).
Import that your new profile, without scheduling.
This should give you the updated v12 version of the deck with your v11 progress intact, right?
Now export form your v12 profile – but only the notes/cards that you have v12 progress on – with scheduling.
Import that into your new profile, with scheduling.
Theoretically, that should update just those notes/cards with your v12 progress.
If that doesn’t work, then try – before you import it, delete those notes from your new profile, so the import will create those notes anew with your progress intact.
I suspect you will be better-attuned to some of the nuances of how to achieve this than I.
My expertise sort of falls off when trying to combine multiple versions of a deck each with differing review histories and review progress. I had presumed that just importing one over the other would combine them, but the user reported that this was not the case for them.
But just to clarify: v11 is an older version of the deck, v12 is the current version. The user had, apparently, been reviewing v11 on one profile and v12 on another profile, and wants to merge the two. I confess I haven’t run into this use-case before and so was a bit stymied as to how to best resolve this for them.
TL; DR: user wants to combine both versions of the deck, while preserving review history from each.
I think your instructions above hit the nail on the head; I hadn’t considered exporting only the notes that had v12 progress though that makes perfect sense.
It feels a bit like juggling, and for whatever my meagre gifts in life I’ve always been terrible at juggling.
ive considered doing it, it does appear to somehow work.
since you never used anking before, I do want to mention that the difference between V11 and V12 lies in the tagging of the cards. meaning, most of the cards in V12 are literally the same card as in V11, with the sole difference being different, more efficient tagging. the anking deck is built and split to categories by the tagging, instead of by the decks (as the same card can fit several subjects, eg pharmacology and microbiology simultaneously).
from my trials, deleting the cards from V12 and importing the cards from V11 does work and preserves the progress (although kind of tedious, as many cards are split between different decks), however, importing cards from V11 messes up the tagging pattern, which was the main point of the upgrade, as the feature of multiple tags on the same card is critical for my learning progress.
