Could the new cards I created get deleted when I download updates from AnkiHub?
I’m a non-US medical student, so I’m not preparing specifically for USMLE, but I still use the AnKing deck because many of the premade cards are helpful for my syllabus.
My current workflow is:
I take the cards that are relevant to my syllabus from the AnKing deck and export/move them into a separate deck of my own. In that same separate deck, I also create my own handmade cards from scratch.
So my personal deck contains a mix of:
- cards originally from the AnKing deck
- my own cards that I made myself
The issue is that when I sync/download updates from AnkiHub for the AnKing deck, some of my handmade cards seem to get deleted or disappear.Why does this happen? Is AnkiHub treating my separate deck as part of the synced AnKing deck because it contains AnKing cards? Or could it be because of note types, note IDs, tags, or protected fields?
How can I prevent this from happening?
Ideally, I want to keep updating the AnKing cards through AnkiHub, but I also want to safely keep my own handmade cards in the same study deck or at least in my own collection without them being affected.What is the safest setup for someone like me who is not using AnKing exactly as intended for USMLE, but is selectively using relevant cards for my own medical syllabus?
Thanks!
