  • What each note card data field means | MarginNote Card Data | Field | Meaning | | ------------------ | ------------- | -------------------------------- | | MarginNote card front (question) | #CardQuestion | The front of the card | | MarginNote card back (notes) | #NoteWhole | The back of the card (i.e. all notes on the card) | | Card title section | #NoteTitle | The card's title | | Card excerpt section | #NoteExcerpt | The card's excerpt (a sourced note excerpted from the document) | | Card comment section | #NoteComment | The card's comments (including tags and voice comments) | | Remark (for search) | #Remark | All text content on the card (including OCR results), so it can be searched in Anki | | MarginNote backlink | #MNLink | This link jumps to the card's location in the MarginNote mind map | | Child node links | #MapLink | The card's child nodes, which can generate image previews in Anki |
  • Detailed illustration of note card data
  • Front (question) and back (card content)

    • MarginNote card front (question)

    MarginNote card front (question) MarginNote card front (question) - MarginNote card back (notes)

    MarginNote card back (notes) MarginNote card back (notes) - The card's title, excerpt, and comments - Card title section

    Card title section Card title section

    💡 When a card has no title, its first excerpt is treated as the card's title. - Card excerpt section

    Card excerpt section Card excerpt section - Card comment section

    Card comment section Card comment section

    💡 Tags also count as part of the comment section.

💡 To achieve recall-based review, the "cloze/cloze/emphasize" on a card must be placed on the front of the card. (Content is pulled from the back of the card to serve as the question on the front of the flashcard.)

4.1 How to Use a Custom Template?

  • Steps for using a custom template (using the "Basic 3in1 template" as an example)
  • First, save the "Basic 3in1 template" to "Local Files"
  • When exporting, switch to "Custom Template" → tap "Select Template ( *.apkg)" → choose the custom template you saved to "Local Files"

    - From the field list, select the MarginNote card data you want and map it to the Anki fields

    - Select Anki → tap "Import" in the top-right corner

💡 If you want to use the "Export Link to MarginNote", "Export Child Links as Images", or "Export Voice Comments" note data in a custom template, you must first check the corresponding export options during the default-template step in order to export them!
