How to move cards back into Anking (not syncing)

While studying for Step 1, I moved certain cards from the Anking deck to a dedicated, personal “Step1” deck that I was using.

When it came time to study for rotations, I deleted that old Anking deck, got Ankihub, and redownloaded Anking from the web. But now I realize that those cards that I had moved are still in the “Step1” deck, despite me updating with Ankihub.

Is there a way I can move them back?

Hello,

Yes you can move them

Go to browse → on the left hand side go to decks → find the step 1 deck you made → click on it → click on any card → Ctrl + A to select the entire deck → right click → change deck

Now pick the deck you want to put all the cards into and it should work!

I had also made cards of my own within that deck. Is there a way I can search for all Anki cards within it? So far I have “tag:!AK*” but this doesn’t find them all.

Also, does it matter which deck I move them into? I’m a little confused why there is an “Anking” deck and an “Anking Overhaul for Step 1&2” deck

The “AnKing” deck is most likely the one you made

“AnKing Overhaul for Step 1 & 2” is the main one from AnkiHub that you have installed. It does not matter which deck you move them into

See this for more info on moving them, since you will have to pick which deck new cards will go into: It says my AnKing deck was installed, but I can't see the new deck

Do you want to move everything from the deck you made to the new deck? or just AnKing cards?

I just want to move the Anking cards, which is why I was trying to search for a tag to somehow filter them.
The “Anking” deck is not the one I made though - mine is just called “Step 1”

I deleted everything that had to do with Anking before subscribing to Ankihub and reinstalling it. Maybe I reinstalled from a bad link? If I were to delete + reinstall through Ankihub now would it save my review history and stuff?

Plus my Anki Overhaul deck only has like 400 cards in it… and “Anking” has 42,000 - so maybe you’re right that perhaps I never deleted it

In that case, what you can do is:

Go to browse → on the left hand side find “note types” → click on this note type below

Now you have selected all AnKing V12 cards → Ctrl + A → right click → change deck

For any V11 cards that were not moved to V12 (because we marked them as duplicates), you just have to do the same thing for the note type that just says “AnKingOverhaul”

It depends on what note type you used to make your personal cards, if it was “AnKingOverhaul” then you cant move those because it will also move the cards you made. If you used another note type however (basic note type), then you can move it.

Apologies if this is confusing, let me know if this made sense

Yes this makes sense! So since V12 has no subdecks I can just move all of these cards to the Anking Overhaul deck and delete the other decks right?

Yes!
