Adding decks to Anki, and where generated cards fit in

Most people hit a snag on their first day in Anki, so here is the short version of how to add decks to Anki app: create an empty deck with Create Deck, import a shared .apkg file, or move existing cards into a new deck from the Browser.

• Create a deck from the main window with Create Deck, then add notes to it from the Add window.
• Use the Deck field in the Add window to choose where each new note is saved.
• Shared decks usually arrive as .apkg files, which open directly in Anki or import through File > Import.
• Use the Browser to select cards and press Change Deck to move them to another deck.
