I just purchased a lifetime membership to AnkiHub. So far, I have really enjoyed my studying experience. Can you please inform me how I can add my own personal notes to the Anking cards? The problem is that I want to have the cards precisely how Anking has them, but I want to have a clear separation for my notes so the AnkiHub sync is not disturbed
I have already uploaded the media to Anking and been reviewing for the past couple days.
Thank you so much for using AnkiHub, we are glad you like it.
If you would like to have your own notes, then you have to protect a certain field. Unfortunately, you cannot protect the text field since then you will not receive new changes. What you can do however is protect the lecture notes field, and any changes you make in there will never be removed or changed since we do not allow changes to that field in the first place.
That way you can make all the changes there, you can even choose to protect the BNB, pathoma sections and add to those anything you like.
Thank you for the response. How should I go about protecting these particular fields? Or can I simply type into the Lecture Notes field?
If you dont wish to suggest any changes to ankihub, then you can just write directly into the lecture notes. If however in the future you would like to suggest a change, you will need to protect your lecture notes field. You can do this by going to the AnkiHub website, clicking on AnKing overhaul (one with 12,000 subscribers), then top right press manage protected data, then make sure lecture notes has a check beside it, I’ve attached a example
I greatly appreciate this help. One last question: does this mean that everything in the Text, Extra, First Aid, Sketchy, etc sections will be completely in sync with what Anking has? In other words, if I try to add something in the “extra” tab, then sync with Ankihub, then it will just delete what I just wrote?
yes, if you do not have it protected, then if you sync with ankihub,it will remove it.
If you protect a field, whatever you add into it will never be removed but you will not get updated changes with ankihub in that specific section.
Anything you do not protect, will always be overwritten and changed by whatever is the latest available information on ankihub

I have the extra section protected, but still after every single update to that specific card everything I added is removed! Do you have any recommendations for this???
Hello,
What card are you referencing?
Personally made cards will not be affected by AnkiHub
I am referring to a card in the Anking deck, where I added my personal note to the Extra section of the card. I made sure to check it as a protected section on the website. However, after every update, all of my personal notes are still being removed.
Can you go to that card → right click → AnkiHub protect → select extra
See if that keeps it from resetting
Thank you I will try that!
I thought I could select all the cards for which I have added my personal notes, but it doesn’t let me do that. I have to do it for every single card!!! I have more than 10,000 cards. The only way to protect them all is through the web, which is not working!
Are you getting any error?
Yes, It says I need to do it using the web!!! The only way I can do it using the anki is by selecting every single card!
Can you take a screenshot of what it says?
I think I’ve figured it out! I used a better search to filter it down to one note type (Anking), and then did what you asked. It worked! I really appreciate your help.
Hello,
I have a few of questions.
2a. How do I add a new field to all of ankicards? The purpose of this: There is a lot of information on the anking cards but usually only one question is asked. I would like to add more questions to prompt me to think about the other information on the card, however, I do not want to add it to “text” field and have it disappear, so I would like to add another field and protect it to have these additional questions.
2b. How do I get this field to appear with the “text” field when reviewing cards.
Thank you so so much!!
@Ahmed7 , Sorry, please see question above. I asked the ankibot the same question and he gave the steps. I followed the steps and everything was exactly as I wanted it, however, whenever I synced my local anki and forced upload to ankihub web, it asked me to sync again. I chose to upload from local anki toankihub web for a second time and none of the changes were saved. How can I save the changes?
