Writing good flashcards is an art, and even the most experienced users don't always create perfect flashcards the first time! So when practicing your flashcards, you'll often find that you want to make edits to them.
If you merely want to correct a typo, selecting the edit option and fixing it immediately works well, but if you need to make more extensive changes, making them while practicing can break your concentration and flow, especially if you're working on a mobile device. In such situations, RemNote allows you to instead mark a card as Edit Later to remind yourself to come back and improve it at a more convenient time.
Marking bullets as Edit Later
You can mark a bullet as Edit Later either while practicing it as a flashcard (the most common case) or in the editor.
While practicing in the flashcard queue
Press the pencil icon and choose Mark as edit later (or press A).
If you're not sure you'll remember what needs to be fixed, you can instead choose Mark as edit later with message (or press M) and type a note.
If you choose the normal edit option and then realize your edit is too complex to handle immediately, you can also use the Mark as Edit Later button at the bottom of the page.
In the editor:
Type /edit or press Ctrl+Alt+A (Cmd+Opt+A on a Mac).
The Edit Later Queue
When you mark a card as Edit Later, it appears in the Edit Later Queue in your sidebar (note that Edit Later only appears in the sidebar if there is currently at least one card marked as Edit Later).
Once you've improved the card, click the blue checkmark to mark it as fixed and return it to the practice queue.
Cards that are marked as Edit Later don't appear when practicing flashcards, since it's assumed that you needed to fix something about that card before spending any more time learning it. Once you click the checkmark in the Edit Later Queue, it will immediately resume its normal schedule.
Does Edit Later apply to child bullets?
No, marking a bullet as Edit Later affects only that specific bullet — it is not recursive. Any child bullets that are also flashcards will continue to appear in your practice queue as normal.
For example, if you have a parent bullet 1 → 2 and a child bullet 3 → 4, marking the parent as Edit Later will pause only the 1 → 2 flashcard. The child flashcard 3 → 4 remains active and will still show up during practice.
If you need to pause or disable multiple flashcards at once, see Setting Priorities and Disabling Flashcards for more options.
