Removing Outdated Words¶

Occasionally, words are moved, unified, or removed from the course. These cards need to be manually deleted from your local collection to stay up-to-date.

How to Find Outdated Words¶

After importing the latest APKG, go to the Browse window in Anki. Use the following search term:

-test:{date}

(Example: deck:Vocab Pali Class -test:25-11)

Replace {date} with the release date in DD-MM format. You can check the date on the latest release page.

Steps to Delete¶

Perform the search above.

Select all matching cards (Ctrl + A).

Delete them (Ctrl + Del or Right-click > Notes > Delete).

If the standard method fails, see the Advanced CSV Update method.
