How-to guide
Export reviewed cards to Anki APKG
Export is the reward for good review hygiene—this guide lists the checks that prevent a broken first import.
Only reviewed, approved cards land in an APKG file that imports cleanly into Anki. You avoid exporting draft noise that would require painful repair inside Anki.
How to do it
Work through one batch at a time. Finish review before you upload the next set of pages.
-
Filter to approved cards from a single logical batch—one chapter or week of material.
-
Run a final QA pass: empty fields, broken media references, duplicate fronts.
-
Generate the APKG export from Cramblr for that approved set.
-
In Anki, import with duplicate detection aligned to your note ID strategy.
-
Spot-check ten random cards across note types and media attachments.
-
Suspend or delete import failures immediately before they enter daily queues.
Quick check before you approve
- No approved card has blank required fields or placeholder OCR garbage.
- Note types in Anki match the fields you validated during review.
- Subdeck or tag placement matches your semester organization plan.
When something goes wrong
Duplicate flood on import
re-export a smaller batch or adjust Anki duplicate handling.
Missing media
return to review and confirm attachments before re-exporting.
Wrong deck
fix tags at approval time—not after hundreds of cards accumulate.
