Frequently Asked Questions[]
- If there are three equal words, with different definitions in the database, which will be in the course?
The database is the list of 'items'. Each level is a selection of items from a database with a pair of columns to test/prompt with.
Any, it's up to the course creator. When you add an item to a level, you will see the search occurring on the database - if there were three copies of an item in the database, all three would be shown in the search results.
- If I delete two of them (at random) will the third, and only one left, automatically be used in the course? Or could I end up deleting the one that is linked to the course?
No, the link is to a particular copy, not by the text, as explained above. So yes you could delete the one that is used.
- Is it a way to automatically create levels of the only words in the database that are not yet in the course?
No not yet I'm afraid - haven't actually heard that suggestion before. If you did need to do this, you could create a second database in the course, import the new words into that, and split that new database up into levels.

- How do I... upload anki deck to memrise[]
1) export Anki deck to .txt for Notes via Export menu item.
2) Mine had three columns instead of two (#3 was for tags) so I had to import the file to Excel (Data -> From text, etc.), remove column #3, and then save the file as Text (Tab delimited) again. (although it seems I could delete that column directly in Memrise database)
3) Create Memrise course. Choose Bulk option when adding entries. Copy-paste from that .txt file, meeting the Memrise's "max 100 lines at a time" requirement.
4) If definitions are very long, Excel damages them (###### stuff) and now you have to edit these definitions manually in Memrise database (copy-paste definition from the excel file).
5) Split the database into levels, set up column names, uncheck Typing tests enabled for Definition column, etc. from http://www.memrise.com/course-creation/
