Hello
Yes you will need to click upload to ankiweb.
You can restore from a backup here to get back your progress
Note: AnkiWEB and AnkiHUB are different services. “Upload to AnkiWeb” is regarding Anki itself, it has nothing to do with AnkiHub.
If you are using your laptop/computer, most of the time you will have to click upload to ankiweb.
If you are asked on your phone, you will need to press download to ankiweb if the last device you used was your laptop/computer
See this for more information: Should I click upload to ankiweb or download from ankiweb?
I hope that helps!
