That’s helpful context, thanks.

Because you’ve actively used both v4 and v12 and added Queso cards into v4, your goal now should be:

  • Use v12 as your “future‑proof,” AnkiHub‑synced deck
  • Preserve important v4/Queso content without creating tons of duplicates or breaking syncing

Here’s a concrete plan you can follow:

1. Keep v12 as the main AnkiHub deck

  • Continue syncing AK_Step2_v12 with AnkiHub.
  • Do not move v4 cards into the v12 deck. That will create duplicate notes and can confuse future updates from AnkiHub.

2. Separate “unique v4/Queso” cards from duplicates

In the Browser:

  1. Filter to v4 OB cards

    • Search bar:
      deck:"AK_Step2_v4::[your OB subdeck name]"

  2. Optionally include your Queso tag (if you tagged them):

    • e.g.
      deck:"AK_Step2_v4::ObGyn" tag:Queso

  3. For each important v4/Queso card you want to keep:

    • Use the card’s content (front text, cloze, etc.) to search in the v12 deck (another browser tab with deck:"AK_Step2_v12"):
      • If there is a matching v12 card:
        • Decide which version you want to keep active:
          • If your v4 card has lots of review history or personal edits, you can:
            • Keep v4 active and suspend the v12 duplicate, or
            • Copy your edits into the v12 note, then suspend the v4 version.
      • If there is no v12 equivalent:
        • Keep that v4/Queso card active. These are your “extra” cards that v12 doesn’t cover.

You don’t have to do this for every single card right now—focus on:

  • Cards you see a lot
  • High‑yield OB content
  • Your Queso additions

3. Practical “minimal‑pain” workflow

To keep it simple during shelf prep, you can:

  1. Primary daily reviews:

    • Study from AK_Step2_v12 OB shelf (unsuspend by tag as recommended in the Step Deck intro).

  2. Secondary / legacy reviews:

    • Leave AK_Step2_v4 OB deck mostly suspended, and:
      • When you encounter a useful v4 card during a quick scan or ad‑hoc review, then do the duplicate‑check step above and decide which version to keep.

  3. Do not delete v4 right now

    • Treat it as an archive / personal‑edits deck that you slowly mine from.
    • This keeps your Queso cards and history safe while you transition to v12 as your core.

4. If you want step‑by‑step for OB specifically

If you share:

  • Roughly how many mature cards you have in v4 OB vs v12 OB, and
  • Whether your Queso cards are tagged in a consistent way,

I can give you a very explicit sequence like:

“Run this search, suspend these, then unsuspend these tags in v12,”

tailored exactly to your collection, so you don’t accidentally lose any Queso content or create lots of duplicates.
