How to Add a Deck to Another Deck in Anki

Are you looking to expand your Anki deck by adding another deck? You're in the right place. This guide will walk you through the process, ensuring you understand each step. Let's dive in.

Before we get started, ensure you have both decks downloaded and synced to your Anki account. This will make the process smoother. Now, let's explore how to add a deck to another deck in Anki.

Understanding Anki Deck Structure

Anki decks are structured like folders, containing individual cards or notes. To add a deck to another, you need to understand this structure. Each deck can contain sub-decks, making organization easy.

In this guide, we'll assume you want to add 'Deck B' to 'Deck A'. Understanding this structure will help you navigate the process seamlessly.

Accessing Your Anki Decks

First, open Anki on your device. You'll see a list of your decks on the left-hand side. Here, you'll find 'Deck A' and 'Deck B'.

To access a deck, simply click on it. This will display all the cards and sub-decks within that main deck.

Adding a Deck to Another Deck

Now that you're in 'Deck A', you'll see an option at the top of the screen called 'Add'. Click on it. A dropdown menu will appear, giving you several options. The one we're interested in is 'Import Shared Deck...'.

Click on it. A new window will open, allowing you to search for 'Deck B' in the Anki Shared Decks. Once you've found it, click on 'Subscribe'. This will add 'Deck B' to 'Deck A'.

Syncing Your Anki Decks

After adding 'Deck B' to 'Deck A', it's crucial to sync your decks. Syncing ensures that all changes made to your decks are saved and updated across all your devices.

To sync, click on the 'Sync' button at the top of the screen. Anki will then sync your decks with your AnkiWeb account.

Reviewing Cards from Both Decks

Once synced, you can review cards from both decks simultaneously. Anki will combine the new deck's cards with the existing deck's cards, creating a unified review schedule.

To start reviewing, click on 'Study Now'. Anki will present you with cards from both decks, following your set review schedule.

Managing Your Combined Deck

If you want to manage your combined deck, you can do so by clicking on 'Browse'. This will display all the cards and sub-decks within 'Deck A', including 'Deck B'.

From here, you can move cards, create new decks, or adjust settings as needed. Remember, any changes made will affect both decks since they're now combined.

Congratulations! You've successfully added a deck to another deck in Anki. Now, you can enjoy reviewing cards from both decks simultaneously, making your learning experience more efficient. Happy learning!
