Yes, you can create subdecks from your AnkiHub deck! Here’s how to organize your AnkiHub cards into subdecks:

Understanding Home Decks in AnkiHub

When you subscribe to an AnkiHub deck, it creates what’s called a “Home Deck” in your Anki collection. This is where new cards from AnkiHub are placed. The important thing to understand is:

You can move cards to any deck you want, and they will still receive updates from the AnkiHub deck.

How to Create Subdecks

  1. Create your subdeck structure first:

    • In Anki, click “Create Deck” (or use keyboard shortcut ‘a’)
    • For subdecks, use the format: MainDeck::Subdeck (the double colon creates a hierarchy)
    • Example: AnKing::Cardiology or AnKing::Respiratory

  2. Move your cards to these subdecks:

    • Browse your cards (press ‘b’)
    • Select the cards you want to move (using filters/tags to find relevant cards)
    • Right-click and choose “Change Deck…”
    • Select your target subdeck

  3. Important note about Home Deck:

    • When new cards are added to your AnkiHub subscription, they’ll still appear in the Home Deck
    • You’ll need to manually organize these new cards into your subdeck structure

Keeping Your Organization

Some users have reported that their subdeck organization seems to reset. This can happen if:

  1. You’ve deleted the Home Deck without changing the Home Deck setting in AnkiHub
  2. There’s a conflict between your local changes and the AnkiHub updates

To ensure your organization stays intact:

  • Don’t delete the original Home Deck without updating your Home Deck settings in AnkiHub
  • If you must change the Home Deck, go to AnkiHub menu → Subscribed Decks and update your Home Deck preference

The key point is that AnkiHub and your local Anki decks are not tightly bonded - you have flexibility to organize cards how you want while still receiving content updates.

Is there anything specific about your deck organization that you’re trying to accomplish?
