If I deleted my deck and do the reset local changes, will I keep my unsuspended cards and progress on cards?

Reading: Deleted deck accidentally

Short answer: probably not in the way you’re hoping.

On AnkiHub, Reset local changes basically tells AnkiHub:

“Make my local deck match exactly what’s on AnkiHub.”

What usually happens when you use Reset local changes:

  • Local deletions are undone
    • If the deck still exists on AnkiHub and you only deleted it locally, syncing with Reset local changes can restore the cards/deck from AnkiHub.
  • Local progress & unsuspensions are lost
    • Your review history (intervals, ease, due dates, etc.) is considered a “local change.”
    • Unsuspending/suspending cards locally is also a local change.
    • With Reset local changes, those changes are typically overwritten by the AnkiHub version, so:
      • Cards you unsuspended locally will usually go back to whatever suspend state they have on AnkiHub.
      • Your personal review progress is usually reset to whatever state AnkiHub “knows” (or to default if AnkiHub doesn’t track that per user).

Because details can differ by deck/setup, I strongly recommend:

  1. Make a backup first
    • In Anki Desktop: File → Export → Collection.apkg (include scheduling info) and save it somewhere safe.
  2. Then, if you want, try Reset local changes and see what comes back.

If you can share:

  • The name/link of the AnkiHub deck, and
  • Whether you ever did “Reset local changes” or re-synced after deleting the deck,

I can give more tailored advice about what you’re likely to get back vs. lose.

Hello,

In this case, to ensure you keep your progress and suspended cards, I recommend restoring from a backup: How to Restore from Backup

After getting your cards back, you can reset local changes to ensure you are up to date: How to Reset Local Changes

Please note that information about progress and whether a card is suspended is stored in your Anki, not on AnkiHub.

Let me know if you need help with anything else. :blush:
