Manage your vocabulary items
Search, filter and sort your vocabulary, then use statuses - active, learnt, paused or deleted - to control what comes back for review.
Switch to the Browse tab on My Vocabulary to work through your list in detail.
Finding items
- Search matches exactly on the target or source side, so it's best for looking up a specific word rather than browsing loosely.
- Sort by Recent, Best or Worst. Worst is the interesting one - it surfaces the items dragging your accuracy down.
- Level filters jump to everything at a given level, from L0 to L8, plus Mature.
- Status tabs switch between All, Active, Learnt, Paused and Deleted, each with a count.
On smaller screens, open Progress and forecast to see the review forecast and Progress by level. Tapping a level (for example Level 3) applies that level as the Browse filter - the same as using the level chips.
You can show 25, 50 or 100 items per page.
The four statuses
Statuses are how you tell Yalango what to stop asking you about.
- Active - in normal rotation. This is the default.
- Learnt - you know it and don't want it reviewed again. Removed from the queue and from your level counts.
- Paused - temporarily out of rotation. Use this for a word you've decided to deal with later rather than one you've mastered.
- Deleted - hidden from everything, but recoverable. Deleting a vocabulary item does not delete the card it came from.
Learnt and Paused both stop reviews; the difference is what you mean by it, which matters when you come back in six months and wonder why a word never appears.
Changing many at once
In Browse, select the items you want, then use the bulk bar at the bottom: choose a status under Set status to and choose Apply to selected.
This is the fastest fix after saving a large public deck. Filter to the words you already know, select them, and set them to Learnt - your review queue immediately becomes about the words you actually need.
Restoring something
Deleted items stay in the Deleted filter, where each has a Restore button. Nothing is permanently lost by deleting a vocabulary item.
Per-item statistics
Open an item for details. Under flashcard stats you may see Target mode and Source mode accuracy - how often you got the card right when the prompt showed the target side first versus the source side first. Use that when one direction is much weaker than the other.
What this doesn't change
Vocabulary statuses only affect reviews. Your decks and cards are untouched - to change the card itself, open its deck and edit the card.
