Broken Card deck management, cannot update after Back template change

🙋 Support
1

Hello! Pushed an update to the main cloze card back template for the Ankore deck and now the card doesn’t show up under Ankihub > Deck Management > Publish style/template updates. Trying to fix some script changes and currently cannot modify the card and push to Ankihub due to this behavior.

This is currently a limitation/quirk of how AnkiHub detects template changes rather than anything you’re doing wrong.

AnkiHub’s Deck Management → “Publish style/template updates” screen only shows notes/card types where it can clearly detect a card template change. In some cases, especially with edits to the back template only (like tweaking scripts or minor HTML/CSS), AnkiHub doesn’t always pick up the change and therefore the card type doesn’t appear in that list.

A few things you can try:

  1. Force a detectable change to the template

    • Temporarily make a very obvious edit to the template, e.g.:
      • Add a dummy div:
        <!-- ankihub-force-change -->
        or
        <div id="ankihub-force-change"></div>
    • Save, then check AnkiHub → Deck Management → Publish style/template updates again.
    • If it appears, publish the update; then remove the dummy change and repeat once more if needed.

  2. Check you’re editing the shared notetype

    • In Anki, go to Tools → Manage Note Types.
    • Confirm that:
      • You’re editing the same cloze note type which is actually linked to Ankore on AnkiHub (not a local copy with “(2)” in the name etc.).
    • If the note type you edited is not the one mapped to Ankore on AnkiHub, its template changes will not show in Deck Management.

  3. Confirm you’re on the correct profile / deck

    • Make sure you’re in the profile where Ankore is actually subscribed to AnkiHub.
    • Open a card from Ankore → click Cards… → confirm the template you edited is the one used there.

  4. Last resort: revert to last working template and re‑apply

    • If you still can’t get it to show:
      • Restore the previous (working) template from a backup or from AnkiHub (if you have the code saved).
      • Publish that.
      • Then apply your new script change again and see if AnkiHub picks it up the second time.

If you’re comfortable sharing it, you can also paste:

  • The exact note type name for the Ankore cloze,
  • A snippet of the back template before and after your change,

and I can help reason through whether there’s something specific about this change that AnkiHub might be ignoring, or if it’s just the detection quirk and you’ll need to “force” a visible change as in step 1.

If none of the above works, this may be a bug specifically affecting your Ankore note type. In that case, I’d recommend:

  • Posting your AnkiHub Deck ID and note type name here so the AnkiHub team can reproduce it on their end.

Thanks!

If you have any rolling backup system and could just restore to before 3/3/2026 that would address the current issue, even if it’s a blunt solution.

Let me know if you have any suggestions. I’ll hold off on trying other things for fear it will cause further complications. I thought about cloning the note type that is not availabe, submitting it to Ankihub and then changing the note type for the deck cards and pushing a big update, but I fear the Ankihub backend might not support it and worry it might have knock on effects on scheduling, for instance.
