How to create a flashcard— step-by-step guide

1. Open the Flashcard Builder

In the main menu choose Discover → Flashcard Builder. The flashcard creation page opens.

2. Fill in the basics

Click the Settings (gear) icon to open the settings panel:

• Title: e.g. "Planets in the Solar System"
• Default language: the set's original language. Choose carefully, because you can only change it later to a language that is fully translated (title and every card)
• Category: the topic your set is listed under
• Thumbnail: optional cover image

A title and a language are required before you can save.

3. Add cards

Click Add Card. Each card has a front (question) and a back (answer).

Card fields

• Front: a question or term
• Back: the answer or definition
• Front image / Back image: optional
• Hint: optional, helps learners before they flip the card

4. Choose who can access it

Click the access button (lock icon) at the top and pick one:

• Draft: only you can see it
• Public: listed and indexed by search engines
• Unlisted: anyone with the link, not indexed
• PIN Protected: share a PIN to grant access
• Members Only: registered members of selected groups only

5. Save

Click Save. Your set appears in My Library.

6. Add translations

After saving, open Settings and use the Translate button. Pick a language, then translate the title and each card. Check Published and click Save Translation to make the translation visible to visitors reading in that language. Until then it stays a draft.

Any card you leave untranslated keeps showing its original text.
