Separate two cards w same headword

[Dodoxo]

Hi everyone. Today I would like to ask how to divide two cards with the same headword but with different definitions. For example, I would like to create one card with the headword 算 and a phrase in the definition space and one with the same headword but with a totally different definition in order to focus on one specific meaning of that word.

For that you'd want to add + a second time (tap on + when it's already a [+]) and then choose the option to create a duplicate card - can then edit that second card for your new definition.

Where is the option to create a duplicate card?

It should be called “create new” in the dialog that comes up when you tap +.

I found that. But it create a new card in the same category. How to edit in order to have different definitions in different category?

Once you've created that card, you can go in and edit it ('convert to custom card') to use whatever definition you like.

Thank you, I found out how to do it. I think is a little bit intricate to do every time: add to a card category, create a new card and remove the card with the unwanted definition from the deck of flashcards.

True, it could indeed use some streamlining.
