Ultimate-geography: update deck without losing data

Created on 8 Apr 2020  路  2Comments  路  Source: anki-geo/ultimate-geography

I had apparently changed the note-type from Ultimate Geography-19c7b to just be named Ultimate Geography back in late 2018 when I first started using this deck. Now I want to update to v3.2 but because the cards aren't the same note type it wouldn't alter the old cards. I tried changing the note-type back, but now when I try to upload the new deck version I see the message: "Notes found in file: 321 Notes skipped, as they're already in your collection: 321" The cards don't end up getting changed at all so it looks like I would have to manually go through and make the changes? Does anyone have suggestions for how I can work around this and make the deck update-able again for me?

Late 2018, that means you're on 3.0, right? In that case that should be no problem, but you need to follow the steps laid out in the ReadMe, under Upgrading - Minor Version which essentially says to not import with an apkg (as it sounds like you are doing) and instead install the Anki add-on CrowdAnki and use that to import in the deck.

Follow the instructions laid out there and you should be good :+1: ping again here if there's anything else

Whoop, sorry I'm a buffoon that can't follow instructions! That worked perfectly. Thanks so much and sorry for the hassle!
