FSRS + AnKing + Step 1 → Step 2 Transition: Deck Separation, AnkiHub Overwrites, Retention Settings, and Vacation Mode — Need Architecture Advice

Hello,

  1. I actually meant that you can use any deck or subdeck organization you want; AnkiHub will not mess with your setup. Using tags is generally a better way to organize, but you will still need subdecks if you want separate settings for Step 1 and Step 2. The AnKing Step Deck does not come with any subdecks by default, so the ones you are seeing might be from an older deck you previously used.

  2. I think we are overcomplicating things, and this might even negatively impact your Step 2 preparation. It is not really viable to keep reviewing every Step 1 card, even at a 0.8 retention rate, while you are also studying for Step 2. We recently created a tag system that can help with exactly this. That way, you can keep everything in the same deck, suspend the cards that are no longer relevant for Step 2, and maintain that one deck at a 0.9 retention rate. Please take a look at this guide: 🏷️ What are the Only_Step_1&2 tags? | FAQ
