How do I add Cards to a Deck?

For any class that you either have Edit permissions for, or any class you have created, you can add Decks and Flashcards.

On the web, after naming a Deck, you can click on the ‘Add Cards’ button to be taken to the card editor, where you can quickly and easily create the actual Questions & Answers that pertain to the content you (or your students) will be studying.  

The Add Cards button is available when creating a New Deck, otherwise click the 'pencil' icon next to the Deck you'd like to add cards.

To add flashcards to existing decks, you can click on the pencil icon next to the deck you'd like to edit and you will be taken to the card Editor.  You can click the + icon to be taken to the bottom of the card list and you can create a new flashcard for that deck by clicking 'Create New Card' at the bottom of the card column on the left side of the Edit Cards tab.

The left column of the Edit Cards Tab includes the list of flashcards.  You can add more cards by clicking the '+' icon at the top of the column, or by scrolling down and clicking 'Create New Card'.

It is also possible to perform bulk actions by moving cards between decks by having browser tabs open.

In the mobile app, for any classes where you are the owner, you can click the '+' icon once you are in a deck add a new card to an existing deck. For further editing, you will need to use the web version of the tool for now, especially if that deck was created with the Advanced Editor / Custom Formatting.  For any new decks you create, you can easily add flashcards and edit them as well.  Stay tuned for further editing features on the both the iOS and Android apps in the coming months!
