Hi purplepancreas,

Good news! You don’t need to protect each tag individually. You can protect all tags that share a common prefix pattern. In your case, with tags following the pattern AnkiHub_Optional::NHB::NHB###, you only need to add the main prefix to protect all of them at once.

How to protect your tag pattern:

  1. Open Anki and click on the AnkiHub button in the top menu
  2. Select Personal Tags
  3. Click on Add New Personal Tag
  4. Enter just the prefix part: AnkiHub_Optional::NHB
  5. Click Save

This will protect ALL tags that start with that prefix, meaning all your lecture-specific tags like AnkiHub_Optional::NHB::NHB123, AnkiHub_Optional::NHB::NHB456, etc. will be preserved during future updates.

You can verify this worked by checking if your tags remain after the next sync with AnkiHub. If you want to be extra cautious, you could even just use AnkiHub_Optional as the protected prefix to ensure all tags under that hierarchy are protected.

For any future school-specific tags, just make sure they follow a consistent prefix pattern, and you’ll only need to protect the prefix once.

Is there anything else you’d like help with regarding your AnkiHub setup?
