Updating existing deck without losing your statistics

!Important! Before doing anything, synchronize your collection across all your Anki devices. Go to Tools > Preferences > Syncing and enable “On next sync force changes in one direction”. This will provide a secure backup on the Anki cloud in case of any issues.

Usually it is enough just to double-click on the downloaded apkg file, and it will update in your Anki.

Only you need to remove outdated words

Special fields add-on

If you’re having trouble updating your deck, consider trying the Special Fields Add-on. Only install it if you’ve exhausted all other options.
