See cards in your notes and in the Cards list
In the Keeplet app for Android and iPhone you see cards in two ways: in a notebook's Notes view, as boxes with question and answer under the paragraph they come from (the sentence is highlighted), and in the Cards view, as a list. During review, See in the note shows the source paragraph again.
Before you start
It applies to all notebooks, with or without an account. To create cards, see How to create a card by highlighting text or How to create a card with the + button.
Steps
- Open a notebook from the Notebooks tab.
- At the top, the selector has two options: Notes and Cards (next to Cards is the number of cards in the notebook). Tap one.
- In the Notes view scroll the page: each card is a grey box with the label, the question, a dashed line and the answer.
- In the Cards view you see one row per card, with the question and the answer underneath.
- Tap a card, in either view, to open Edit card: you change Question and Answer and tap Save, or you tap Delete card.
What do I see in a card's box?
The label at the top says Card, due today if the card is due (or has never been reviewed) and simply Card otherwise. A card without a question shows only the dashed line and the answer.
The box has its own handle (Card actions) with Edit, Turn into note, Select, Move up, Move down, Move to another notebook…, Duplicate and Delete: see Move, duplicate and convert paragraphs in the app.
How does the app know which sentence a card comes from?
There is no saved link. The app reasons on the page like this: a card belongs to the paragraph immediately before it, and the highlighted sentence is the spot where the answer's text appears in that paragraph. If the same sentence appears more than once, the one you picked when you created the card applies (this information stays only on the phone).
When the card is created, the highlighter stroke is drawn on the sentence. If the card comes from + or from New card, it ends up at the end of the notebook and usually has no highlighted sentence.
How do I find a card's paragraph during review?
During review, See in the note appears under the card. Tap it: a sheet opens with the heading "From your note" and the paragraph with the highlighted sentence. Close the sheet and carry on rating where you left off. The button only appears for cards whose paragraph the app can find.
What happens next
If you edit the paragraph or the answer and the two texts no longer match, the card stays but the highlight disappears and See in the note doesn't appear. The same happens if you move the paragraph and the card ends up under another one: cards don't follow the paragraph they came from, as explained in Move, duplicate and convert paragraphs in the app.
Frequently asked questions
Why doesn't a card have a highlighted sentence?
Because it doesn't come from a sentence (for example you created it with +), because there is no paragraph before the card, or because the answer's text no longer appears in the paragraph that precedes it.
How do I find a specific card in a large notebook?
Use search: tapping a card among the results opens the notebook already on the Cards view. See How to search notebooks, notes and cards in the app.
Does editing a card during review also change the rating?
No. The Edit card pencil only changes the text; scheduling and ratings stay as they were.
Can I see cards without a connection?
Yes: they are stored on your phone, so you can see and edit them even offline.
