You’re seeing two separate (but normal) things:

---

1. Why did 5 cards go into the “Default” deck?

Those 5 cards are “example / template” cards that come with some AnKing note types (like I/O or image-occlusion-style cards). They sometimes end up in Anki’s built‑in Default deck instead of the main Step deck when:

• The example notes were created without a deck specified, or
• Your Anki was still using “Default” as the deck when the note types were added.

They’re safe to keep or move:

1. In the Browser, filter for those 5 cards (e.g., search by note type or tag if they share one).
2. Select all → Change Deck… → move them into a deck like AnKing Step Deck::Extras or just suspend them if you only want them as references:
   • Right‑click → Suspend (or press Ctrl+J / Cmd+J).

This has no effect on your AnkiHub sync for the main deck; it just cleans up your deck list.

2. Missing “Instructions” subdeck

The older screenshots / videos you saw are likely from a prior version of the Step deck or from a manual AnkiWeb import where the creator bundled written instructions inside an ::Instructions subdeck.

With AnkiHub and the current AnKing Step Deck:

• Most of the “how to use this deck” content has moved to:
  • The Official course:
    Official Course | Getting Started with the AnKing Step Deck
  • The wiki / FAQ topics:
    Introduction to the AnKing Step Deck (V12)
    AnKing Step Deck FAQs

So it’s expected that you don’t see an Instructions subdeck anymore when you subscribe via AnkiHub. Your screenshots (main deck + some I/O example cards) sound consistent with the current setup.

3. Quick sanity check

To confirm everything is as intended, you can verify:

• In the Browser, search deck:"AnKing Step Deck*" and make sure:
  • You see a large number of cards with the usual Step tags (e.g., AnKing Step Deck::AnKing Overhaul::Step 1::...).
• In AnkiHub Add‑on → Manage Subscriptions, confirm you’re subscribed to the official:
  • ⭐️ AnKing Step Deck (V12) deck.

If these look right, your setup is normal.

If you’d like, reply with:

• A screenshot of your deck tree showing the Step deck + Default deck, and
• One of the 5 “Default” cards open in the Browser (showing its note type + tags),

and I can tell you exactly what each of those example cards is for and whether I’d move/suspend them.
