AnkiCollab-Plugin

📚 A free, collaborative, deck creation platform for Anki. 📝

AnkiCollab.com | Discord

Introduction

AnkiCollab is an open-source, free, collaboration tool to create and share Anki decks. New workflows and projects are possible with collaboration. Some possible opportunities:

  • Split up the work of making cards!
    • Person A makes cards for chapter 1, person B makes cards for chapter 2, person C makes cards for chapter 3.
  • Professional Revisions
    • Let's say you and your friends make a deck for your Spanish class. After it's done, you can get a native speaker (or even your teacher!) to go through all your cards and make corrections. After the corrections are accepted, everyone receives a polished deck!

Getting Started Guides

We have two separate Getting Started guides for maintainers and subscribers. Check out our FAQ for extra help.

Installing the Addon

AnkiCollab Add-on Page

Before you start, make sure you are using the latest version of Anki found here. If you've never used Anki before, there is a great Getting Started guide in the Anki manual.

Every add-on in the Anki ecosystem is installed using an add-on code. AnkiCollab's code is 1957538407.

If you ever lose this code, you can always find it on AnkiCollab add-on page. Scroll down a bit and you'll find it in a little box.
