Here are the main resources and recommendations for using the AnKing Step Deck (V12) on AnkiHub and your specific questions:

1. Up‑to‑date info & “how‑to” for the Step Deck

The most current, official info is here:

Those replace older YouTube videos for the AnkiHub version of the deck, so start there.

2. Recommended add-ons (for AnKing Step Deck on AnkiHub)

In general, you want:

Essential:

  • AnkiHub Add-on (required)
    For syncing updates with the Step Deck:
    https://community.ankihub.net/t/getting-started/103689 (install instructions in there)

  • AnKing Overhaul / AnKing note-type & styling tools
    Many users already have this from the AnKing Overhaul. It improves tags, fields, and card styling that the Step Deck is built around. If you’re on standard AnKing setups, you should be fine.

Commonly helpful (but optional):

  • A “Review Heatmap” / stats add-on (for motivation only)
  • A “Progress Graphs & Stats” type add-on
  • A filtered-deck helper add-on if you like more control over custom study (but many users just use the built-in filtered decks + the Step Deck recommended settings).

When in doubt, start with just:

  1. AnkiHub add-on
  2. The recommended AnKing note types / styling
    and only add other add-ons once you’re comfortable.

3. Add-ons you should avoid or be careful with

Anything that:

  • Changes scheduling or intervals heavily (e.g., custom schedulers, “FSRS tuning” add-ons that override defaults, experimental scheduling tweaks).
  • Mass-edits fields or tags automatically, especially:
    • Bulk tag cleaners/renamers
    • Add-ons that auto-change note types or fields

Reason:
The AnKing Step Deck relies on specific fields, tags, and scheduling assumptions. Add-ons that change those can:

  • Break links with AnkiHub updates
  • Cause conflicts when syncing changes
  • Make support/debugging harder

If you’re unsure about a specific add-on, reply here with its name (not code) and we can tell you if it’s known to play nicely with the Step Deck.

4. “Total number of cards the step deck should have”

For precise, current numbers, check the official wiki post (they change as updates roll out):

Because the deck is updated via AnkiHub (cards added/retired/fixed), the exact total can change slightly over time, so your count may not exactly match someone else’s older screenshot or video.

If you want to verify your own number:

  1. In Anki Desktop, go to the Browse window.
  2. Set the search to the deck name used by the Step Deck (e.g., “Deck:AnKing Step
”).
  3. Check the total note/card count at the top.

If your total is in the same general range as the numbers mentioned in the Introduction or Updates posts, you’re fine.

5. If you want a “video-style” walkthrough

Even though you couldn’t find a fully up-to-date specific video for the AnkiHub version:

  • Use any recent AnKing Step Deck / Step 1–2 video as conceptual guidance.
  • Then follow the V12 Introduction + FAQs above for the exact settings and AnkiHub-specific workflow.

If you’d like, list the add-ons you’re currently using, and I can quickly flag which are safe with the Step Deck and which to reconsider.
