Reading: How to Protect Personal Tags from being Overwritten

Hi purplepancreas,

This is a common issue when subscribing to AnkiHub decks, as updates can indeed overwrite your school-specific tags. Fortunately, there’s a solution specifically designed for this situation!

What’s happening

When you download and sync the AnKing Step Deck from AnkiHub, it’s overwriting your school-specific tags because these tags aren’t part of the official AnkiHub deck structure.

How to fix it

You can protect your school-specific tags from being overwritten by using the Personal Tags Protection feature in AnkiHub. Here’s how:

  1. Open Anki and click on the AnkiHub button in the top menu bar
  2. Select Personal Tags
  3. Click on Add New Personal Tag
  4. Enter your school-specific tag prefix (for example, if your tags are like “School::Lecture1”, enter “School”)
  5. Click Save

This will prevent AnkiHub from overwriting those specific tags during future updates, allowing you to maintain both your school organization and the updated AnKing content.

If you’re also subscribed to a school-specific tag group on AnkiHub, make sure those are properly synced by checking your AnkiHub Subscription settings.
