When you practice a flashcard, by default RemNote will show all of the bullets above the flashcard itself in the hierarchy. Usually this is what you want – it means you can make your cards more concise, saving you typing and reducing the amount of reading you have to do when practicing.
However, sometimes this can result in giving the answer away! If it's impractical or undesirable to restructure your notes to avoid the answer being present in a bullet point higher up, you may wish to hide some of the parent/ancestor bullets on a flashcard.
Built-in Hide Ancestors in Queue
When practicing or previewing a flashcard , if you hover over the Document's name, you can click on the hide icon to remove the breadcrumb and document title. Rems above the flashcard in the hierarchy that are within the document will still appear.
Clicking the ellipsis (…) will show the breadcrumb and document again.
Selective hiding
For cases when the basic Hide Ancestors option is not enough, you can use the Hide in Queue plugin (install this from Settings > Plugins).
Hide in Queue provides three power-ups which you can apply to Rems to customize the hierarchy display:
/no hierarchy
: When applied to a flashcard (not a parent), none of the card's ancestors will be shown during practice (even ones within the same document)./hide in queue
: When the Rem to which this power-up is applied appears in the queue as context (on any flashcard below it), you will see only faded text Hidden. When the card's answer is shown, the hidden content will also become visible./remove from queue
: Like/hide in queue
, but there is no Hidden placeholder, and the Rem remains hidden on the back side of the card as well.
