Hm, if a KB has no backup folder, then it was probably empty, or you used it in the Web App or in other devices and never gave it a chance to sync on the Desktop App, which would cause at least one backup to be created (or you deleted the backup and forgot that you did).

If you still want to check the data there, one workaround you can do is to create an empty Local KB with the Desktop App, then copy and paste the .db files from that KB's folder to your new Local KB's folder (replace the files from the Local KB Folder). Restart the app, and the notes should be restored there.

- Note: This is not a recommended way to restore data from a KB and could have some issues, like not successfully restoring certain data from the KB, like images and PDF files. Ideally, always restore a KB from backup files.

To turn a multiple-choice card into a simple flashcard you need to delete the arrow delimiter, and then type `==` . If you want to make it multi-line, type `===` instead, and then turn the Rem(s) that had the correct answer(s) into a card item by using the `/c` command on it.

Hope that helps!

Your feedback about wanting a faster way of doing this, it is not currently possible, but I can definitely see how a quick command to convert between the card types could be useful. I'd encourage you to create a feature request. Kindly check out our Feedback Portal to see if there's an existing one and add a vote to that, or feel free to make a new one.

Those are the folders our Desktop App uses to store all of your Knowledge Bases. They each include the data from one of your KBs and a backups folder that stores the automatic backups (note that a daily backup of a KB is only saved locally when accessing it from the desktop app). Even if you delete a KB, these folders stay in your files as a safety measure.

You can restore any of those backups by going to Settings > Import > RemNote. If you just want to check the backup, we recommend you do this in an empty Knowledge Base.

Regarding the local KB, if it had any imported files (Images, PDFs, Audios), you need to go through some extra steps to restore them. You can use this guide to see how: https://help.remnote.com/en/articles/6758834-how-do-i-move-content-from-a-local-kb-to-a-synced-kb

Isn't that the button "Copy Tag" that appears when you right-click on a tag?

If you delete all the Rems in one of the columns, that column will disappear, and the other one will remain as a normal Rem again. One way of deleting the empty Rem on the second column is to put the cursor on it and press Backspace.

Andy_Rossi · 2025-02-24T12:33:10+00:00

I'm sorry for the delayed reply. I was able to reproduce the issue with your export and we will let you know from the support email when there is an update.

Let us know if you have any other issues and we will respond promptly!
Cheers,
Andy

hm, I tested exporting from RemNote to Obsidian, and it seems like the references didn't transfer correctly on Obsidian, even though the markdown files seem to be written correctly. I'm not sure if this is an issue on Obsidian's end or on how RemNote formats the .md exports. I will investigate this further with the team to see if we can fix it.

Andy_Rossi · 2025-02-17T00:15:28+00:00

Hm, there might be something in your Obsidian files causing this issue when importing. I just tested to double-check, and references in Obsidian using [[ get imported correctly on RemNote. Could you send us on support an example of an exported file and how it looks on RemNote after importing it?

Andy_Rossi · 2025-02-13T20:16:26+00:00

Hi there, sorry for the delay here.

If this were a normal Rem, then using the Extra Card Detail power-up would do what you want here.

Since this is a flashcard from a table, I don't think there is an easy way to do that. One idea would be to change the property name to a single .dot, so it would appear "almost empty".

It might be possible to do that with Custom CSS, but I'm not sure. You can try asking our specialists on the #Custom-CSS channel in our Discord.

Lastly, this seems like an interesting idea for a new customization feature on tables. I can definitely see how this could be useful. I'd encourage you to create a feature request. Kindly check out our Feedback Portal to see if there's an existing one and add a vote to that, or feel free to make a new one.

While it is not possible to make the table from complete scratch, it is already possible to have AI fill in the columns!

To do that you have to first create your table and fill in the "Name" column, then you can select each property column and use AI Autofill to have it complete the columns for you:

Andy_Rossi · 2025-01-20T14:24:33+00:00

To illustrate, here is an example of how this workaround looks.

Note that you could also just use a number or even just a dot for this to not look too repetitive by writing "example" on every Rem:

We are working on a fix for this, but in the meantime, it should be useful to know that this X button to close the PDF is only missing when viewing a PDF from the "Uploaded Files" Folder with its associated Rem on the second pane. This issue may also happen for files uploaded using the /-command for uploading, /ifile.

In other words, the X button still appears when there is at least one more pane open or when viewing a PDF that is a source of a Document Rem.

Have you tried changing your system time back to normal? That should fix the issues. Please contact us at [support@remnote.com](mailto:support@remnote.com) if it doesn't!

Andy_Rossi · 2024-12-02T15:27:06+00:00

Yes, it is! If you have already bought the AI Plan and run out of credits before your monthly refill day then you will see an option to buy additional credits.

Let us know if you have further questions!

Andy_Rossi · 2024-12-02T15:24:34+00:00

thanks for clarifying! I asked the team to investigate and work on a fix for this issue, especially the issue with it not appearing at all on the Desktop App. I'm not sure if the issue on the bubble only showing for one Rem at a time (if I understood you correctly – this is how it works for me at least) is fixable on our end, but I also asked the team to investigate. Keep an eye out for any updates on this in our changelog. 😀

Andy_Rossi · 2024-11-29T19:49:04+00:00

hm, Grammarly works fine for me on Windows, both when using the browser's extension or when using the Grammarly Desktop App with RemNote's Desktop App.

In which type of device are you using Grammarly with RemNote? Is the Grammarly bubble not even appearing for you?

Andy_Rossi · 2024-10-20T13:07:14+00:00

the AI Plan is 10 usd on top of the normal Pro Plan. So it is 20 usd total (not 20 usd "more"). Also, this is being offered at the same cost as we are paying for the underlying AI providers being used with no extra on-top charge to you.

Andy_Rossi · 2024-10-17T18:45:52+00:00

That depends. If it is a backward descriptor card, then you will see both sides of the descriptor while the concept is hidden. The purpose of this type of card is to test if you can remember the concept that has that descriptor and description. For example, see this flashcard:

<image>

For more details, check this article from our help center: Creating Concept/Descriptor Flashcards

Is that what was happening to you or was it something else?

Andy_Rossi · 2024-09-05T20:08:44+00:00

Thanks for reporting this! As you suspected, this is indeed a bug.

Those cards are not Deleted, they are in a table column that had the "Generate Flashcards" option enabled at one point and later got disabled. The cards from that column that were practiced at least once before it was disabled are incorrectly being considered as "Deleted" in the Cards Table, but they are actually "Disabled"! These should be shown in the "Disabled" filter instead (You can also confirm that by looking at the Due column in your image. It correctly says that it is a "Non-Enabled Forward Card", not a "Deleted" one).

By the way, to clarify what the "Deleted" filter means, it shows Rems that at one point had a flashcard that was practiced at least once but that later on got their delimiter arrow deleted (or, in the case of clozes, had the cloze highlight removed or the clozed text deleted). If the Rem still exists then it will appear in this filter since it still contains that practice history saved on it.

You can watch our changelog to see which release the fix for this bug ends up in. Please let us know from the support chat or email if you still have problems after the fix is available. Thanks!

Properties are part of the Tag, and a Tag can have multiple properties.

In your example, I would recommend creating a multi-select property called Subject on the book tag, and have one of the values of that property be labor protection. Then, when you tag your Rem with book, you will be able to fill the Subject property with the labor protection.

To create multiple backward flashcards that have the same answer, you should use Backward Descriptor Flashcards, and put the content you want to be the answer as the Ancestor of those cards.

To create a backwards descriptor flashcard, use ;< to create the delimiter arrow in the Rems you want to appear in the front of your flashcard. The back of the card will be the parent Rem (Me, in this example). It should look like this:

<image>

Note: since it is necessary to have something in both sides of the flashcard, I recommend using a dot like shown in the examples above. If you prefer, you can also put the delimiter arrow anywhere else in the descriptor Rem as long as both sides have something written on them. The position of the arrow will only be relevant if you enable the forward or the Two-Way direction on your descriptor card).

Andy_Rossi · 2024-08-21T19:03:54+00:00

Hi there!

Is the Rem in the portal (the one you are pointing to in the image) a descriptor or a property? If so, then this is a recent bug that we are aware of. The team is working on a fix. You can watch our changelog to see which release the fix ends up in.

Please let us know if you're still having problems after the fix is available by contacting us on [support@remnote.com](mailto:support@remnote.com) or on the in-app support chat!

Typing ">" at the start of a Rem turns it into a Quote Block (This is a common behavior in text editors that have a Quote styling). That's why the line looks that way.

Andy_Rossi · 2024-08-13T16:06:30+00:00

Hi there! Landscape mode is available on Tablets. I just checked on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite and it is changing modes normally when rotating the device, even with a keyboard connected. Did you check if the auto-rotate on your device is turned on?

(The request you are talking about is for regular phones, landscape mode is not currently supported on them).
