Hi everyone 
,
Just a quick update, we will be making some improvements and fixes to AnkiHub’s servers starting tomorrow April 1st, at 6 AM ET. 
The downtime is expected to last for approximately 2 hours.
During this time, syncing with AnkiHub and accessing the website might potentially be unavailable.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Regards,
The AnkiHub Team 
is this April 1st thing ? what are sort of improvements are we looking at?
Updates to AnkiHub’s server stability. They usually require some downtime to update on the backend.
I hope you’re doing well.
I’m reaching out because I accidentally deleted some cards from one of the deck folders synced through AnkiHub, and I can’t seem to get them back.
It happened after I created a filtered deck and unintentionally pulled in cards that weren’t in my current schedule (my “luz”). That somehow disrupted the organization of my decks. When I tried to undo it and return to my regular schedule, I realized some cards had been deleted or gone missing.
For example, in the Neuro > Autonomic Nervous System section, the deck starts from “02” instead of “01”, which used to be there.
I tried restarting Anki and syncing again, hoping it would re-download the missing cards, but unfortunately, they haven’t returned.
Is there a way to force-download the missing cards or reset the deck on my side to make sure everything is restored properly?
Thanks so much in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Yuval

Hello,
Yes you can force re-download them by doing the following:
Please try resetting your local changes. To do this:
Go to browse in your Anki → at the top click on the ankihub addon tab → press reset all local changes
This will restore everything to what AnkiHub has unless you have specifically protected those fields

Thank you so much
But I’m afraid it will reset also all my learning cards also.
What is the recommended behavior when I use create filter deck option- should I delete the whole deck when I am not interested any more?
Should the cards will come back to original deck?
Yes, if you delete the custom filtered deck, the cards will return back to their original deck
It will not reset your learning card scheduling or anything like that. It will only reset what you have not protected, for example, if you edited the text field of a card and did not protect it then it will reset that
Thank you so much – I followed the guide you sent me (it was excellent!), and I was able to restore the deck and find it again.
I just want to confirm: should the current number of cards in the AnKing Step Deck be 35,096?
I still don’t fully understand why the deck was deleted in the first place. When I deleted it, it seems like it was just moved – interesting…
I also followed the 2025 settings video and applied the settings to the AnKing Step Deck, but I find it difficult to maintain these settings across all the sub-decks I created for each course. I’m worried that the custom settings I applied won’t stick, because the cards might inherit settings from the sub-deck or parent deck (depending on where they were moved).
I’m trying to find the right workflow for me. What I had in mind was:
Create a sub-deck for each course under the main AnKing Step Deck
After I watch a B&B/ Sketchy video, I’ll move the relevant cards into that course’s sub-deck and start studying them
Do you recommend this method? Or is there a better workflow you suggest for organizing the AnKing Step Deck by course?
If you happen to have a guide that covers this (like the one you sent me before), I’d love to check it out.
Thanks again for all your help!

Great!
Yes, around that much depending on what you select (we regularly delete duplicate cards so that number might be slightly off)
This method is similar to what I did for Step 1 but with one change, so instead of creating a new deck called for example “Vibrio cholera” and then watch the Sketchy video and do the cards after moving them there.
I create a custom study deck, a custom study deck makes a temporary deck that follows the settings of the original deck the cards are from and when you are done with that deck, you can click delete and it automatically returns that deck back to the original deck
In this picture, the blue decks are the custom study decks, so what I did was
This way you don’t have to move cards around and impact their settings

Hi Ahmad,
I have a question regarding filtered decks. I’m trying to study an entire topic (e.g., Cellular Injury) by creating a filtered deck using the tag for that topic.
However, even when I include is:new in the search and set a very high card limit (e.g., 9999), the deck only pulls in some of the new cards — not all of them.
For example, in the screenshot below, it shows “New: 27 +11”, and even after I finish those cards, it only allows me to study the next 11. I feel like the rest of the cards are “stuck” somewhere.
Do you know what I’m missing? Is there something I need to change in the search query or the deck settings to pull all the relevant cards at once?
Thanks so much again for your time and help!
Best regards,
Yuva

Hello,
What is your search query?
Basically, you believe there should be more than 27 + 11 cards for the given search query, and they are not showing up in the custom study?
Thanks again for sharing your filtered deck method — it’s already helped me a lot.
I wanted to give a quick update:
The issue I mentioned earlier with the filtered deck not showing all cards seems to have resolved itself — the cards have already returned to my learning flow, so I can’t reproduce it right now. If it happens again, I’ll definitely reach out with details and screenshots.
