Reading: 🔐 Protecting Fields and Tags

Hi Tristanzj!

Moving and reorganizing tags in an AnkiHub deck is generally fine, but there are some important considerations when it comes to protected tags.

About the AnkiHub_Protect tag

The AnkiHub_Protect tag is a special tag that tells AnkiHub not to overwrite certain fields on your cards. Moving this tag or changing its hierarchy could potentially affect how your protected fields work.

When it comes to your specific question about moving the AnkiHub_Protect tag type within the parent tag (AK_MCAT_v2), there’s a risk this could cause your cards to no longer be properly protected during updates.

Protecting Your Tags

If you want to reorganize your tags while ensuring everything stays protected, here’s what I recommend:

  1. Before making changes, visit the AnkiHub website for your MCAT deck
  2. Click the 3 dots in the top right corner
  3. Select “Manage protected data”
  4. Make sure your important tags are listed in the protected tags section

This way, even if you reorganize your tag hierarchy locally, your protections will remain in place during future updates.

Making Your Sidebar Neater

It’s completely understandable wanting to organize everything under one master parent tag for each AnkiHub deck. For best results:

  1. First protect any tags you’ve added or modified
  2. Then reorganize your tag hierarchy
  3. If you want to be extra safe, you could make a backup of your collection before reorganizing
