Manage your vocabulary items

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.

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.

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.
