Reading: 🏷️ Optional Tag Groups

Hi heavilyarmedpuppy!

Based on your screenshot, it looks like your friend has the Cheesy Dorian tags organized in a hierarchical structure, but you’re not seeing the same organization in your AnKing Step Deck despite having a paid AnkiHub subscription. This is likely related to Optional Tag Groups in AnkiHub.

What’s Happening

The tags you’re seeing in your friend’s screenshot (Cheesy Dorian organized into subcategories) are part of what AnkiHub calls “Optional Tag Groups.” These are separate tag structures that you need to specifically subscribe to - they don’t automatically come with the deck.

How to Fix It

Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Find your AnKing Step Deck in AnkiHub
  2. Click the three dots in the top right
  3. Select “Manage Optional Tags”
  4. Look for the Cheesy Dorian optional tag group and check the box
  5. Click save
  6. Sync AnkiHub to update your collection

After syncing, you should be able to see these tags in your Anki browser under “AnkiHub_Optional” in the sidebar.

Where to Find the Tags After Subscribing

Once you’ve subscribed and synced:

  1. Go to Browse in Anki
  2. Look at the left sidebar
  3. You should see “AnkiHub_Optional” with the Cheesy Dorian tag structure

This isn’t related to turning off field sync - it’s a separate feature that requires specific subscription to the optional tag groups.

Hope this helps!
