I decided to create other card style options, but after that all cards are created and displayed the same. My cards that I already had before using the “Cloze” template now no longer show me the answer on the back of the card. I would like to view the cards created by previously in the basic model of “front for question and back for answer” - see an example of front and back on the print screen

I’m not sure I fully understand what the issue you ran into is. Maybe you could provide a bit more information? For example, which fields you have in your note type and what your front and back template look like.

Here’s what my cloze note type looks like:

- Fields:
  - Text
  - Back Extra
  - Sources

- Front template:

```auto
<p>{{cloze:Text}}</p>

<p></p>

```

- Back template:

```auto
<p>{{cloze:Text}}</p>

{{#Back Extra}}
<hr>
<p>{{Back Extra}}</p>
{{/Back Extra}}
{{#Sources}}<div id="source">Source: {{Sources}}</div>{{/Sources}}

```

And just in case you haven’t already seen it, here is also the link to the respective section of the manual: [Card Templates - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/templates/intro.html)

If this started after you made changes, you might want to consider restoring from an automatic backup: [Restoring an Automatic Backup (Recovering from Data Loss) - Frequently Asked Questions](https://faqs.ankiweb.net/restoring-an-automatic-backup-recovering-from-data-loss.html)

Hello,  
I will use this information for when it happens again, as I have restored an older backup to get everything back to how it was before.  
Thank you for your help!
