Rescheduling due date

Anki Scheduling

Hello!

I don’t know if this question has been asked before. I tried reading through the forums to see if there is anything related, but I couldn’t find anything.

Can somebody please tell me if there is a way to reschedule your cards in exactly the schedule they currently are, but in a few days from the current date? Let’s say for example you want to go on holiday for 5-8 days, but don’t want to come back and see that you have 1000 flashcards due throughout your decks. Is there a way that you can schedule everything to be postponed by 5 days? Same for when you fall behind and just want to give yourself some breathing space?

Thank you in advance!

There are add-ons that purport to do that, but I recommend against using any of them. If you have a backlog of overdue cards, the last thing you should be trying to do is punish the rest of your cards by making them overdue as well.

My preferred method is to use a catch-up deck that lets me push forward with the main deck while catching up on the backlog as a side-project – Adressing Backlog - #2 by Danika_Dakika .

But there are other options that are still not as bad as pushing your entire collection back – Reddit - The heart of the internet .
