Introduction

AnkiCollab is an open-source, free, collaboration tool to create and share Anki decks. New workflows and projects are possible with collaboration. Some possible opportunities:

  • Split up the work of making cards!
    • Person A makes cards for chapter 1, person B makes cards for chapter 2, person C makes cards for chapter 3.
  • Professional Revisions
    • Let's say you and your friends make a deck for your Spanish class. After it's done, you can get a native speaker (or even your teacher!) to go through all your cards and make corrections. After the corrections are accepted, everyone receives a polished deck!

Getting Started Guides

We have two separate Getting Started guides for maintainers and subscribers. Check out our FAQ for extra help.
