This is a debug option and it will fuck up your question queue.

FSRS and Scheduling

Enable short term scheduling

When using a normal flashcard software(like Anki), having short term scheduling on looks like this:

New card -> good -> 1min -> good -> 10min -> good -> 1d -> good -> ......

Disabling short term scheduling will remove the 1min and 10min periods, which you may or may not notice looks very similar to the learning steps option below this one, probably defaulted to 1,10, which is where the learning steps are applied. Relearning steps are applied the same way, but for cards that are getting relearned.

Although this works in a flashcard app like Anki, you probably don't want to be doing the same question, particularly a more difficult one, 10 times or more in one session if you get the tiniest bit wrong(if following the guide in 4 Studying). Hence it's recommended that you reduce the learning steps to like 30min or not have this option on at all.

Question Generation Queue

Max Concurrent Generations

You should definitely look over this on your first usage. If your openai account is on usage tier 1, anything 3 or above will probably cause you to get rate limited.

Scheduling

The different day modes

Normal means cards are scheduled as normal. Reduced applies a 50% reduction to cards and minimal applies 25%. This is probably not how Anki implemented it but I dont know how they did it

Knowledge Dependency Handling

See 3 Quickstart - dependencies for more information on this.

• Dont check: wont check for dependencies at all
• Show warning: doesnt work
• Must be review: All of its dependency cards must be in review state, which is the state after new and learning, i.e. after it has gained a few days in its due date.
• Not new: All of the dependency cards must be in learning, review and relearning state.
