Here’s an example of using custom study or a filtered deck to “turn off the scheduler” and view cards outside the regular schedule.
During review there will be only two buttons: Again (<10m) and Good (end).
A filtered deck will also include a button to Rebuild it with a single click (or by using https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/104518886).
Custom Study
The easiest way to create a filtered deck is with the Custom Study button, which appears at the bottom of the screen when you click on a deck. It offers some convenient preset filters for common tasks like reviewing the cards that you have failed that day. It will create a filtered deck called “Custom Study Session” and automatically open it for you.

Filtered Deck
Advanced users can create filtered decks with arbitrary search strings (or ‘filters’), instead of relying on the preset filters. To create a filtered deck manually, choose Create Filtered Deck from the Tools menu.

Don’t Reschedule cards based on my answers in this deck
By default, Anki will return cards to their home decks with altered scheduling, based on your performance in the filtered deck. There is a reschedule cards based on my answers option available which alters this behaviour.
When rescheduling is disabled, cards are shown in a simple “preview mode”, and when they are returned to the original deck, they are returned exactly as they started.
