Reference
Decks
A deck holds cards and sets their defaults.
Content
Sections
Optional, ordered parts of one deck that every learner sees. Each learner opens them in order unless the owner turns that off.
Content
Series
The owner's optional, ordered groups of their own decks, reviewed together. Members of a shared deck never see them.
Content
Cards
One term and what the learner knows about it. Adding a term that already exists is skipped, never rejected.
Content
Tags
Labels on cards that find and review them across decks. A card's tags are part of the card, and the same name is one tag in every deck you study.
Content
Pictures
A card's one private picture: set from bytes or a public link, described, archived and restored.
Content
Languages
How cards in each language are written. Public and cacheable.
Content
Review
What is due, and what it would be scheduled to. Grading is the learner's alone.
Review
Sharing
Who else studies a deck: its members, invitations and join link. Every member keeps their own schedule.
Sharing and publishing
Publishing
A deck's public page on Explore, and its editions in other meaning languages.
Sharing and publishing
Explore
Published decks as the learner browses them in the app, and adding one to Library.
