How to Share a Study Folder

One shared deck beats emailing deck_FINAL_v3.apkg around. Everyone edits the same cards. Everyone reviews on their own FSRS schedule.

For why this matters, see the group study post on the blog.

Roles

Role	Can do
Owner	Everything: invite, remove, change roles, publish link
Editor	Edit cards, invite learners
Learner	Study the deck, no edits

Invite by username

1. Open your dashboard and open the folder you want to share.
2. Click Share (sidebar or folder menu).
3. Search for your classmate's Nebulearn username.
4. Pick Editor or Learner.
5. Send invite.

They accept from notifications or their shared folders list.

Copy a folder link

1. Open Share on the folder.
2. Set visibility to Published if you want a link anyone can open.
3. Click Copy link.

Link format: https://nebulearn.app/folder/[folder-id]

Learners still need an account to study. Editors need an invite if the folder is private.

Typical group workflow

1. One person uploads the week's PDF and saves to the shared folder.
2. Split editing: person A fixes half the cards, person B fixes the other half.
3. Everyone reviews 15 min/day on their own queue.
4. Fix typos in the deck, not just the group chat.

What does not sync

• Review schedules are per person. You can't share "due today" lists.
• Anki intervals don't carry over if you imported from .apkg.

Common issues

Can't find username

• They need a Nebulearn account first. Exact username match required.

Invite pending

• They must accept the invite. Check spam if you emailed them separately.

Editor can't change roles

• Only the folder owner can promote/demote editors.

Leaving Anki-style exports behind

If you were exporting .apkg files weekly, switch to one shared folder. When someone fixes card 42, everyone's next review is correct.

Import old Anki decks once: import guide.
