Organize your cards

You can organize your flashcards into folders, archive the ones you no longer want to review, and share a folder as a deck for other people to save.

Folders

You can create folders to group your cards by subject. A card belongs to exactly one folder, and cards you have not put anywhere are in Unsorted.

Each folder can be practiced on its own. Start practice goes through the cards in that folder that are due, and Preview goes through all of them without changing any due dates. See Practice for the difference between the two.

Deleting a folder does not delete the cards in it. They move to Unsorted.

Sharing a deck

You can share a folder of cards as a deck — a public page that anyone with the link can open. Viewing a deck does not need a Winda account. The page shows the cards that are in practice. Drafts stay private.

A shared deck reflects the current folder. When you add, edit, or remove cards, the page changes with them. You can stop sharing at any time, and the link stops working.

A person who saves your deck receives their own copy. The copy belongs to them. They can edit or delete its cards, and your later changes do not reach it. Review progress is not copied. The cards enter the new owner’s reviews as new cards, a few each day rather than all at once. Saving the same deck again returns them to the copy they already have.

Archiving cards

Archiving a card takes it out of your reviews but keeps the card. Its content, its folder, and its review history all stay. Winda simply stops scheduling it, so it never comes due again.

You can restore an archived card at any time. It picks up its old schedule, so a card that was already due comes back due right away.

Cards and the content they came from

Deleting the content a card came from does not delete the card. Drafts are the exception: they are deleted with their content. Every card keeps the passage it was made from, so it still makes sense on its own. The only thing you lose is the link back to the source.
