# Import Anki content

> Import plain-text Anki exports into BlueAccademy flashcard decks.

If you already maintain cards in Anki, you can reuse that content instead of rebuilding it by hand.

## What you can import

The current import path is Anki plain-text export, not `.apkg`.

Each line should contain:

* Front text
* One tab character
* Back text

Comment lines starting with `#` and blank lines are skipped.

```text theme={null}
# This is a comment — it will be ignored
Question one	Answer one
Question two	Answer two
```

## How to export from Anki

1. In the Anki desktop app, go to **File → Export**.
2. Set the export format to **Notes in Plain Text (.txt)**.
3. Choose the deck or note type you want to export.
4. Export the file.

## Import steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose the target deck">
    Import into an existing deck or create a new deck as part of the import flow.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Provide the plain-text content">
    Upload or paste the tab-separated export content.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run the import">
    The backend parses the content and imports valid lines into the chosen deck.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Parsing expectations

* Valid lines are imported.
* Comment lines are ignored.
* Blank lines are ignored.
* Malformed lines are reported as errors and skipped.

<Note>
  This docs site intentionally does not promise support for `.apkg` package import because the current code path documented in the repo and UI is the plain-text format.
