How to Edit and Personalise Folders

What are folders on Flashka? 🗂️

Folders group multiple decks so you can keep classes, chapters, or topics tidy. From a folder you can:

  • Study the entire folder to review all decks at once (Spaced Repetition, Fast Review, Quiz, or Exam Simulation).

  • Generate quizzes that pull questions across every deck inside.

You can create and manage folders from Home, inside another folder view, or from the sidebar.


Rename and recolour a folder 🎨

  1. Choose Edit Folder.

  2. In the modal:

    • Name: type a clearer title (e.g., “Lectures”, “Notes”, “Exam Prep”).

    • Color: pick a colour chip to visually separate big subjects at a glance.

Pro tip 💡: Use short names + distinct colours so you can spot the right folder instantly.


Move a folder to reorganise 💼➡️📁

Select Move Folder to place the folder inside another location. This is perfect when a course splits into “Notes” and “Lectures” later and you want a cleaner tree.


Study an entire folder 🎓🚀

From the folder page, click Study Folder:

  • Pick a mode: Spaced Repetition, Fast Review, Quiz, or Exam Simulation.

  • Flashka pulls cards/questions from every deck inside that folder.


Show in To-Do & sorting options 📝⚙️

On the folder page you’ll also find:

  • Show in To-Do: surface this folder’s review tasks in your Home To-Do list.

  • Sort Decks: reorder decks visually (e.g., by chapter number) for a neater grid.


Add or upload into a folder ➕

Use the bottom-bar actions inside a folder:

  • Add Folder to nest subfolders (e.g., Week 1, Week 2).

  • Upload Document to import PDFs, Word, PPTX, Pages, TXT and start generating cards/quizzes right where they belong.
