No this won’t do anything
Follow this guide: 🔐 Protecting Fields and Tags
Basically, you have to find all the cards you have altered and highlight all of them → right click → ankihub protect
This will protect only those cards you have selected from being overwritten. This might be challenging to do since you have to find each and every card you have modified.
Another way is to protect the extra field (or any other field for that matter) before you install the step deck by going to ankihub → anking overhaul → top right 3 dots → manage protected data → select the fields you don’t want overwritten.
This will protect every single field in every card in the anking deck, so nothing will be overwritten. but this way you will not receive any changes.
You can then take your time and find all the changes and protect them with the right click tag method above
After you have selected everything you don’t want overwritten, you can unprotect the extra field on the website and do the following:
Go to browse in your Anki → at the top click on ankihub addon tab → press reset all local changes
This will restore everything to what AnkiHub has unless you have specifically protected those fields
You have to protect the text field for that card like I have mentioned above
If you protect the text field on the website:
Yes you will receive new cards, but no changes to existing cards’ text fields
Correct, only for the text field however. If you made changes to extra, you will also need to protect the extra section for that field not to be overwritten
Hope that clarifies things, let me know!
