Cards on ID pending

[Brian_BH]

@coquedf

Her number of cards is higher (she did not “bulk without review” her notes yet”), so I guess she does have the cards I upload. However, they do not appear in the proper subdeck:

Gotcha, that’s progress at least.

It’s hard for me to say exactly why she might have more cards. It could be for a few reasons:

• She might have older cards in her local collection that are not in the AnkiHub deck that she has not deleted.
• She might have cards in her local collection that have not yet been suggested to the AnkiHub deck.
• They could be unrelated cards? I can’t know much about the state of a user’s local collection, unfortunateluy, so it’s a little hard to say

As for the subdeck part, I also show that there are not many cards in that particular subdeck:

She appears to have more cards in that subdeck than I do, so again here she may have additional old cards, or additional new cards

Separate, but related, it appears that you have far more cards in that subdeck than either she or I do. Likely here, there may be a discrepancy between your local collection and the AnkiHub collection (hence why her cards, and my cards, don’t quite look like yours)

An easy example; in the image you shared:

I see that this particular card is physically located in the ‘REUMA’ subdeck for you, though looking at the tags for that card, the tag says it should be in MIR::Conceptos_MIR, rather than REUMA

In this case, it looks like your local card position does not match the tags for the subdeck. It’s in ‘REUMA’ but the tags list it as being in ‘Conceptos_MIR’. I imagine this is why, for example, the ‘Borrelia burgdoferi’ card shows up in your REUMA subdeck, but shows up in Conceptos_MIR for me (because the tags dictate this)

Using this card as an example, if you would like for the ‘Borrelia’ card to show up in the REUMA subdeck, you would want to change the subdeck tag to reflect the deck in which you would like for it to be located, then suggest (and accept) that change. This would then ensure that the card is ‘assigned’ to the proper subdeck

Separately, though, and this may or may not matter but I’ll list it here: AnkiHub can make sure that, for a new user, if they download the deck, the cards are going to be placed in the proper subdecks. But, for an existing user, AnkiHub does not impose card location. Meaning, if you change the subdeck tags, this change will be reflected for Paula (and me), but it won’t move the card from one subdeck to another subdeck in my local collection. This is to allow users to choose and modify their own subdeck organization (if they choose)

The cards will update information, tags, etc., but AnkiHub won’t generally force them to change location, just FYI. Paula can likely ‘reset local changes’ as above, though and this might do the trick (I’m not 100% on this, though).

I’ll try to summarize everything here, because I know it can be a lot:

• It looks like you might have some local stuff, that isn’t reflected on the AnkiHub copy of the deck (which is why Paula’s collection, and my collection, look different).
• You can make changes, and as long as you upload them, they should be available for other users once they sync.
• Subdeck location can be changed on the server copy, though it won’t immediately move cards around in user’s local collections (I believe resetting local changes may do this, though I’m not 100% on that, as AnkiHub tries pretty hard not to move people’s cards around as a rule).

As a totally separate note, but as an example: if Paula were to completely delete the deck from her local collection, then reinstall it, all of the cards would appear in their ‘correct’ subdeck location (since you have, essentially, installed the deck completely new). This would erase any review history, so isn’t ideal in a lot of cases, but it can be an option depending

Super short version:

• If you change subdeck tags, it will update tags for other users (but it will not move the cards to a different subdeck).
• If a user deletes and reinstalls the deck from scratch, it will make sure those cards are in the right location.

Existing users: AnkiHub tries not to move cards.
New users: AnkiHub will move the cards.

Give those things a look and let me know what you determine and/or find and we can go from there. I’ll do my best to make sure that you get fully resolved so hopefully you can spend more time studying and becoming a doctor than fiddling with Anki.

I should add, just for clarity:

If you add new cards, those cards will be placed in the proper subdeck (according to their tags). My description/s above are mostly dealing with existing cards, rather than new cards

The difference may not matter, but wanted to make sure to offer that point just for clarity.

I think I got you Brian. I think I am starting to solve it. They did not have the proper subdeck tag. I changed the tags, and they do appear now. Finally, Thanks!!!

However, we still have a few issues.

We still do not match the number of flashcards, and I think that it is because she can not bulk these notes. There is no option to upload them:

Why does the option to bulk not appear?

Now I know what we need to do when someone moves a note to another subdeck: we have to change the tag too (and the other person has to change the deck manually too). Right?

However, I want to make sure I understand how to upload notes in the easiest way. The proccess is to add notes to the specific deck, tag them all when they are in “ID pending”, and bulk without review? Or is there a way to have all notes tagged automatically? I mean, imagine I have made notes for five different subdecks, if I have to tag them for every subject it takes a lot of time….

Thank you for everything Brian

I’m actually not 100% certain on that. I basically never use the ‘ID pending’ tab for almost anything, and am not completely sure what’s going on there. I’ve reached out to one of our developers, though, to get a better idea of what may be going on there and if it’s a bug or if there is just something I’m not fully understanding yet

I will keep you posted as soon as I hear back, and will hopefully have some more useful information for you.

What’s the type of these notes? Can you confirm you’re using the note type associated with the deck? (it should have the author’s username and deck name in its name).
