Reading: 🙋 Getting Help

Hi there! I understand you’re looking to organize your AnKing deck into subdecks like you had previously in 2020. The AnKing Step deck structure has indeed changed over the years, and with AnkiHub, the organization relies more on tags rather than subdecks.

Creating Subdecks in Anki

You can still create subdecks in Anki using these methods:

  1. Naming convention method:

    • Create a new deck by clicking “Create Deck” at the bottom of the deck screen
    • Use the “::” separator to create hierarchy (e.g., “AnKing::Cardiology” will create a Cardiology subdeck under AnKing)

  2. Drag and drop method:

    • Create separate decks first
    • Then drag and drop one deck onto another in the deck list to make it a subdeck

AnKing and AnkiHub Organization

Based on community discussions, there are a few things to note about the current AnKing deck organization:

  • The newer versions of AnKing (like V12) rely more heavily on tags for organization rather than subdecks
  • When using AnkiHub to sync the AnKing deck, creating custom subdecks may be reset when updates are applied
  • Many users now use tags to filter and study specific content instead of relying on subdecks

Alternative Approaches

If you prefer studying with a subdeck structure, you have a few options:

  1. Use the Custom Study feature to study specific tagged content
  2. Create filtered decks based on tags (e.g., create a filtered deck for just cardiology tags)
  3. You can manually move cards to subdecks, but be aware that AnkiHub updates might reset this organization

Remember that while subdecks can help with visual organization, Anki’s developers and the AnKing team generally recommend using tags for more flexible organization, as cards can have multiple tags but can only belong to one deck.

Would you like me to provide more specific guidance on how to work with tags effectively as an alternative to subdecks?
