Font in the guide column

[vuxvix]

Hi!
When I open csv files for editing. I notice that the content in the Guide column is special characters (HYeQ[!t+v+ ; emfZ/!E,?[....). I don't know if it's a font error or what. thanks for any help!

Hey @vuxvix, feel free to ignore the column guid, those special characters are used by Anki to keep reference of notes.

It stands for Globally Unique Identifier (guid). It is used internally by Anki to identify notes. By storing this in the CSV we can safely update meanings, readings etc. and update decks without affecting your progress in Anki.

If you want to contribute new readings, don't worry about that field either. This project will autogenerate it.

I should probably do a better job explaining the format so I've added a section to https://github.com/jamsinclair/open-anki-jlpt-decks/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#csv-format

Hi jamsinclair,
Thanks for your quick response. I'm looking for a way to show the next columns in Back Templete. It's not very intuitive to me.

show the next columns in Back Templete.

I think your message may have some typos. What do you want to display on the back template?

With some additional time spent learning Anki, I m now able to add content to the backs temp. Thanks
