Tags & Tag Decks
Tags and Tag Decks are available on the Scholar plan.
Tags
A Tag is a label you attach to a card. Flipnem tags are equivalent to card tags in Anki β if you import an .apkg file that contains tagged cards, those tags come in automatically. When you export a deck as .apkg, the tags are included so they round-trip back into Anki correctly.
Each card can have multiple tags. You can assign tags while reviewing cards during a Study session, or manage them in bulk from the Tags page (accessible via the Tags button on the Decks page).
Adding and renaming tags
On the Tags page, type a tag name in the New tag⦠field and press + or Enter to create it. You can't have space in your tag name.
Click any tag chip to open a management dialog where you can:
- Rename the tag β optionally updating all cards that carry it
- Create a Tag Deck from it (see below)
- See which decks use the tag
Tags during study
While reviewing a card, open the card info panel (the β button) to add or remove tags on that specific card. Start typing a tag name and existing tags are suggested β use arrow keys and Enter to select, or type a new name and press Enter to create it.
Tags and Anki
Flipnem tags map 1-to-1 with Anki card tags:
- Import: Tags on every card in an
.apkgare imported and immediately visible on the Tags page. - Export: Tags are written back into the exported
.apkgand appear as card tags when you open the deck in AnkiDesktop or AnkiMobile.
Tag Decks
A Tag Deck is a dynamic deck built from one or more tags. Instead of containing its own cards, it pulls matching cards from across your entire collection at study time. Cards that carry any of the selected tags appear in the Tag Deck's queue.
Tag Decks appear on the Decks page alongside regular decks and behave identically for studying β they have due counts, support favorites, and use the same FSRS scheduling.
Because FSRS scheduling is tracked at the individual card level, reviewing a card through a Tag Deck updates the same scheduling record as reviewing it through its original deck. There is no duplication β the card exists once, and whichever deck surfaces it next will see the updated interval, stability, and due date.
Creating a Tag Deck
- Go to the Tags page.
- Click a tag chip to open its dialog.
- Click Create Tag Deck β the deck name defaults to the tag name, which you can change.
- The new Tag Deck appears immediately in the Tag Decks section and on the Decks page.
You can also create a Tag Deck that spans multiple tags. After creating one, click its tag icon badge on the Decks page (or use β― β Edit - Tag Deck) to add or remove tags.
Editing a Tag Deck
Click the tag icon badge next to the deck name on the Decks page, or open β― β Edit - Tag Deck. From there you can rename the deck and change which tags it covers.
Deleting a Tag Deck
Open β― β Delete next to the Tag Deck on the Decks page, or use the Delete button in the Tag Deck's detail page. Deleting a Tag Deck does not delete the underlying cards or tags.
Tag Decks and favorites
Tag Decks can be starred as favorites and appear in the Favorites section at the top of the Decks page alongside regular decks.
Tag Deck limitations
Tag Decks are dynamic views over your cards and have some restrictions compared to regular decks:
- No export β Tag Decks cannot be exported as
.apkgfiles. To export cards, export the original deck they belong to. - No sharing β Tag Decks cannot be shared via a share link.
- No card scheduling table β the per-card scheduling details (Interval, Reps, Lapses) are accessible from the original deck's inspect page, not from a Tag Deck.
- No sub-decks β Tag Decks cannot be nested or grouped into a hierarchy.
