Where is my template data stored?
Only in the storage of the browser you're currently using (localStorage). It's never sent to a server, so it won't show up on another computer or browser, and it's deleted along with your browser data if you clear it. For any template you care about, I recommend keeping a separate backup with [Copy Code].
Can I use this without knowing any code?
Yes — that's exactly why this tool exists. Just click the part of the card you want to change and pick options from the panel on the left. The updated code is generated for you automatically; all you have to do is copy it and paste it into Anki.
Which Anki version is this based on?
It's built around Anki desktop 23.10 and later. The template syntax itself (HTML/CSS) is compatible with older versions too, but the screenshots and menu instructions in our guides follow the current UI.
I added a field — what do I do in Anki?
Your note type in Anki needs a field with the exact same name as the
one you used when adding the field in the editor. In Anki, go to
Tools → Manage Note Types → Fields and create a field with that same name.
If the names don't match, the card will show a blank space instead.
Is this different from editing a note's content?
Yes, it's different. Editing a note means changing the actual content that goes into a card — the word or the meaning, for example — and you do that by opening the note directly in Anki. ankieditor works on the template instead — the font, size, color, and layout that content is displayed with. Once you update a template, the change applies to every card that uses the same note type.
Can it preview cloze deletions ({{c1::...}}) and type-in-the-answer cards?
Yes. Cloze deletions preview with the hidden part shown as [...], and
type-in-the-answer cards preview with an input box and the correct-answer comparison
screen, matching Anki's actual behavior. You can style colors and fonts on both exactly
as you would anywhere else.
