# Study sets

> Make a study set by hand, from a note or from an import, then edit, organise and share it.

A study set is a list of terms and definitions, and every study activity is built from one. Find your sets in [Activities → Study sets](https://workroad.app/activities/sets).

## Make a set

There are three ways to start one:

- **By hand.** Choose **New study set**, give it a **Name** (and a **Subject** if you like), and write each card's **Term** and **Definition**. Choose **Create study set** when you're done.
- **From a note.** In a note, choose **Make study set**. WorkRoad's AI writes the cards, and you check them on the **Review cards** page before anything is saved: edit, reorder or remove them, then **Save**. This counts as one [AI use](https://workroad.app/docs/plans), even if you discard the cards.
- **From an import.** Choose **Import** to bring in an Anki package (.apkg), or paste or upload a CSV, Quizlet export or Anki text file. A preview shows what will come in before you import.

## Edit a set

Open a set and choose **Edit** to change its name, description, subject and cards, then **Save study set**. **Find in set** jumps to a card.

Each card can carry **Hints**, a picture, and a recording of its term or definition. Choose **Generate hints** to have WorkRoad write hints for you.

### Card types

A card asks for the definition of its term. Two more kinds are in the set's **Flashcards** options:

- **Reverse cards** also ask each definition for its term. Both directions are scheduled on their own.
- **Cloze deletions** hide part of a term. Write them in the term, as in Anki: `{{c1::Paris}} is the capital of France`. Each `c1`, `c2` and so on becomes its own card.

**Details: cloze, pictures, recordings and languages**

- A cloze can carry a hint: `{{c1::answer::hint}}`. A term with a cloze ignores **Reverse cards**.
- **Study starred cards only** limits Flashcards to the cards you starred.
- **Term language** and **Definition language** choose the voice that reads each side aloud.
- A picture can be PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF or AVIF, under 4 MB.
- A recording can be made in the browser with **Record term** or **Record definition**, or uploaded as WebM, Ogg, M4A or MP3 under 2 MB.

## Organise your sets

- **Folders.** **Manage folders** adds, renames and removes set folders, and **Change folder** on a set files it. The list filters by folder.
- **Favourites.** **Add to favourites** keeps a set near the top.
- **Tidy up.** On a set, **Duplicate** copies it, **Merge into…** joins it with another, and **Sort by term** or **Sort by definition** reorders its cards. Select cards to **Star**, **Flag**, **Add tag**, **Move** them to another set, **Copy** them, or **Split off** a new set.

Moving and merging keep each card's review history. Copying starts the copies fresh.

## Share and export

**Share** creates a public link to a set. **Share with people** gives named people read-only access: they can study it and **Save a copy**, but only you can change it.

**Export** downloads a set for Anki (as a deck or text, cloze included), as CSV, TSV or Quizlet text, or as printable flashcards. Save your changes first.

## Archive or delete

**Archive** takes a set out of reviews, the study picker and search, and keeps its history. **Restore from archive** brings it back. Archiving a subject archives its sets too, and unarchiving the subject brings back only the sets archived with it.

**Move to trash** deletes a set. It stays in the [trash](https://workroad.app/trash) for 30 days, with its cards and history, in case you want it back.
