Manage sets and linked decks
Organize SRS sets without confusing the schedule with the underlying cards. A set links to decks in Home; those decks are not duplicate copies.
Before you begin, create an SRS set and a Home deck. Use a backup before actions that remove schedules or history.
Add another deck
- Open SRS, then the destination set.
- On the Deck tab, choose Add Deck.
- Select an available deck and confirm.
- Check that the set's deck and card counts update.
A deck can belong to only one set. Decks already assigned elsewhere are marked assigned. If a deck is assigned elsewhere while the selection sheet is open, reopen the picker and select again.
Use the Card tab and Search cards to find cards across the set. Editing a result changes the shared card in its Home deck.
Choose the order for new decks
Clear Search decks, then reorder the linked decks on the Deck tab by holding and dragging their handles. Reordering is unavailable while that deck list is filtered. The saved order matters when Display Order → New Card Order Type is Sequential Order.
This affects which new cards are selected when capacity is limited. It does not require every review from the first deck to finish before any review from the second deck. See Display order and review behavior.
Rename or move a set
To rename a set, open its gear button to access SRS Set Settings, edit Set Name, and tap Save in the name sheet.
To move a set:
- Open SRS Set Detail and tap the purple parent-folder badge below the set name.
- Select the destination in Parent Folder. Choose None for the top level, SRS Home.
- Tap Confirm.
- Check the set's updated folder path.
Moving a set keeps its linked decks, schedules, and settings. Set names must be unique within the destination folder; rename one set first if the picker reports a duplicate.
Create or change an SRS folder
- In SRS, open the add menu and choose Create Folder.
- Enter SRS Folder Name and choose SRS Parent Folder.
- Tap Create SRS Folder.
To create a nested folder, open an existing folder's three-dot menu and choose Create SRS Subfolder. The parent is preselected, and you can change it before creating the folder. A folder can have up to six ancestor folders; choose a shallower destination if the app reports the depth limit.
To change an existing folder, choose Edit SRS Folder from its three-dot menu. The name sheet's Save commits a rename; the parent picker's Confirm commits a move. There is no additional page-level Save button. You can also move a folder from SRS Folder Detail by tapping its purple parent-folder badge. The folder's contents move with it; a folder cannot be moved into itself or one of its descendants.
SRS folders are separate from Home folders. Reviewing a folder collects eligible work from its sets and subfolders while preserving each set's own schedule and limits. Open a folder and use its three-dot menu's Create Set to start a set inside it.
Find and sort sets
Use Search sets in the SRS library to find folder and set names. Inside a folder, use Search folders and sets. For words in card content, use the main Search tab.
Tap the sort control beside the library search box to open Sort By. Choose Name, Number of cards, or Date created, use the direction control to reverse the order, then tap Apply. This changes the library's displayed order; review priorities are configured separately in Display Order.
Use a folder's arrow to expand or collapse its contents. In the tree, Expand All Children and Collapse All Children in Folder Actions handle its nested folders together.
Move a deck to another set without restarting it
- Open the source set's Deck tab.
- Swipe the linked-deck row to reveal its actions, then choose the move action.
- In Select Set, choose the destination set and confirm.
- Open the destination and check that the deck is listed there.
This transfers the existing SRS schedules and history instead of creating new schedules. The destination set's settings apply to future reviews, and statistics follow the deck's current set membership. Choosing the existing set leaves the deck where it is.
Remove a linked deck
Before removing a deck, export a backup if you may want its study progress later.
- Open the set's linked deck list.
- Swipe its row and use the remove control.
- Read Remove Deck? carefully and confirm only if you intend to remove its SRS statistics.
The deck is unlinked and its related SRS data is removed. Its base cards remain in Home. Linking the deck again does not restore the removed history.
Understand destructive actions
Do not treat delete confirmations as a reversible archive. For a temporary review break, use card availability. For a fresh start on a specific card, see Review history.
