Flashcards

A flashcard is a question-and-answer card made from a highlight, a chapter or a note.

Making flashcards

You make a flashcard from the material it is about:

• Highlight: open the highlight and go to its Flashcards tab.
• Chapter: open the chapter in the Structure tab and go to its Flashcards tab.
• Note: add a flashcard from the note.

Write a question and an answer. The card is linked to the highlight, chapter or note you made it from.

AI suggestions

You can ask the AI to suggest flashcards for a highlight or a chapter. You go through the suggestions one at a time and accept or reject each. Crossbill saves only the cards you accept.

AI suggestions need an AI provider. See Chapter digests.

Browsing a book’s flashcards

A book’s Flashcards tab lists all its cards, grouped by chapter. Cards that are not linked to a chapter have their own group. Click a card to show its answer.

You can:

• search the cards by question or answer text
• sort them newest or oldest first
• filter them by tag. A card has the tags of the highlight it was made from.
• edit or delete a card

Studying in Anki

Crossbill does not schedule reviews. The Anki add-on syncs your flashcards into Anki, and you study them there with spaced repetition.
