== Importing Comma-seperated Value files and Text files (.txt, .csv) | ||||||||||||||
Anki now supports the import of .csv and .txt files. The procedure for it on AnkiDroid is as follows: | ||||||||||||||
* Click the three dots on the upper right hand corner. | ||||||||||||||
* Choose Import | ||||||||||||||
* Choose 'Text file (.txt, .csv)' | ||||||||||||||
* Choose the file from your folders when prompted and click OK | ||||||||||||||
* In case of .csv, the seperator will be autoselected as comma, but you can choose a suitable seperator for your .txt file from Tab, Pipe, Semicolon, Colon, Comma and Space | ||||||||||||||
* If you want HTML to be allowed in the fields, turn the button on. | ||||||||||||||
* In the 'Import options' section, first pick the notetype from options 'Basic', 'Basic (and reversed card)', 'Basic (optional reversed card)', 'Basic (type in the answer)', 'Cloze' and 'Image Occlusion'. | ||||||||||||||

* Then, select the deck that you want to put the new cards in. 'Default' makes a new deck called Default. | ||||||||||||||
* In the existing notes section, pick if you want to preserve the old notes, update them or duplicate them. | ||||||||||||||
* When the "Match Notes" field is set to "Notetype," Anki flags a duplicate if another note with the same notetype shares the same first field. However, when "Notetype and Deck" is selected, duplicates are only flagged if the existing note is also present in the deck you are importing into. This distinction ensures precise duplicate identification based on your import preferences. | ||||||||||||||
* In the last 'Field Matching', you can choose which field in the file you uploaded can be set as the front, back and tags of the flashcards. | ||||||||||||||

The procedure on Desktop Anki is the same. The import option can be found on the bottom right button of the homepage or can be accessed on the File tab and selected from there. | ||||||||||||||
