Awesome, I never knew to use Frozen fields in this way plus that field history is a great add-on.

[@dupirechristophe7703]

Frozen fields heh? Time-saving and clever, thanks for the tip mate :) Is there any way to do frozen tags though?

[@mbiribi]

How do you have the extra and source fields, is this an addon?

[@aTrooperNo7]

You can customize your note types and then add fields. (docs.ankiweb.net/#/templates/intro) You can also use note types from imported decks.

[@kendawg_mcawesome]

Fasntastic. Knew about frozen fields, but not history.

[@eseilawimpershlaak]

but the frozen fields things is also implemented in the standard anki if you click on fields button

[@Glutanimate]

That's true and it's important to point out that the add-on would not work without that built-in feature! But I think that having an easily accessible toggle elevates this feature's usefulness to an entirely different level.

[@michaelpatrickmilligan]

Incredibly useful. Thank you!

[@helenahalasz9775]

Mind-blown!

[@doubleletter]

Great tutorial, thanks!!

[@Thiago-gm3sf]

There's some way to listen to the audio as question and typing what I've listened as answer?

[@Glutanimate]

I've never used this myself, but you might have some success with the on-the-fly playback option in AwesomeTTS. See here for more details: ankiweb.net/shared/info/301952613 ankiatts.appspot.com/usage/on-the-fly

[@danilojen2144]

i use this mainly to learn languages (some english words are unpredictable) and it is quite effective.(my cards are only audio) And i also use it on my geography because it gets easier to remember.

[@kurodesuuuu]

Is there a way to disable the anki message "waiting for editing to finish"? when editing cards as you review them? I basically have a large collection of example sentences stored in a deck, so while reviewing my newly added vocabulary cards- I open up the browser and simultaneously add them. But after editing, I always have to click on "resume now", which ruins my work speed.

[@BruceWayne-wb4tm]

Hey man, thanks for the great vid! field history is a real life saver!! Just curious tho, what distro are you using

[@greciar471]

How did you get the "sources" textbox when making flash cards? I cant find how to do it anywhere! Please help! I'm new to anki :/

[@kernel9771]

You must add it yourself! When adding a new card you should see the button "Fields..." at the top left. You can click on this button to modify existing fields or create new ones

I AM FROZEN!

"Edit History Field" cannot be installed. Anki says "The download was corrupt". Could you please have a look?

[@Glutanimate]

Seems like it's a general issue with Anki's download server. Other add-ons will produce the same message. We will have to wait for the Anki staff to fix this.

[@Glutanimate]

OK, the issue should be fixed now. It was a problem with AnkiWeb. Thanks again for the report!

[@KL-db1sx]

Thanks for following the matter and sorting it out!

[@aspired2be]

Thanks 🙏
