Is there a way for filtered decks to create copies of cards so that if I study the card in one deck it wont interfere with the filter deck?I just want Anki to make filtered decks for me that I can use at any time and know that all the cards will be in there.
If I study one deck with the same card in another, it should not affect the cards appearance in the other deck.
I found this addon but it seems to have many bad reviews
Clicking rebuild each time you want to study your filtered deck will probably do it. Though this depends on the search of your filtered deck.
You almost never want to have duplicates for your cards. When you split the review history between them, you pretty much guarantee that neither of them will be scheduled correctly. And if you just studied the card in one deck, you don’t want to study it in another deck again soon after – that defeats the purposes of spaced-repetition studying.
Perhaps Filtered decks aren’t the right fit for what you’re trying to do, or perhaps simply rebuilding the deck as needed will be your solution.
Does not help, the cards are in other decks so I would have to rebuild those decks too which I dont want to do.
I disagree with this. This is going by the notion that a card can only be studied once. For instance the decks I am creating are based off practice tests I took and the topics I did not do well include those cards. I want to focus studying on those cards. If I want to fall back to the other filtered decks I should be able to do that whenever I want.
You shouldn’t think of Filtered decks as a permanent place to store those cards. It’s a way to construct a specific study session that doesn’t follow the usual scheduling or grouping of cards. When you’re done with that study session, you should Empty it so those cards are available for studying in their home decks on their regular schedule.
There are exceptions to that, of course, where you might want a Filtered deck to persist longer, but rather than leaving cards in the deck, it is usually better to modify your search filter to address that.
Especially if you’re trying to overstudy/cram your cards, you want the algorithm to know you’re doing that, so it can account for it in your future scheduling.
