Hi,

I’m really sorry to bother you with my peculiar problem. I shared [this deck](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/599450509) a while ago. It had mistakes so I wanted to update it. The problem is that when I click “share”, it suggests a void page as if it was the first time I share the deck.

I downloaded the old version of the deck : the name was “CELLIER::Géographie::Sous-préfectures”. The name on my computer is “✔ CELLIER::󠄚:world\_map: Géographie::Sous-préfectures” so I tried to change to the emoji-free name, then sync, then click “share” on ankiweb but still a void page. The first release was in may 2020 with old scheduler. Deck id has not changed. This is the “decks” table of the database (before and today) :

Before :

| id | name | mtime\_secs | usn |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1581772015982 | CELLIER\037Géographie\037Sous-préfectures | 1639910353 | -1 |

Now :

| id | name | mtime\_secs | usn |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1581772015982 | CELLIER\037Géographie\037Sous-préfectures | 1639908287 | 9414 |

So it seems good to me… but it is not. How can I re-link my deck to the shared deck ?

Thanks a lot !!

When you originally shared it, you had a leading space that Anki no longer allows. I’ve adjusted it on AnkiWeb’s end, and it should work now.
