In the old scheduler, if you create, rebuild, empty, or delete a

back into new cards. In the case of failed reviews in relearning, any
remaining relearning steps will be skipped. This was fixed in the

Early reviews are included in the new card count rather than the review
count, and will be shown according to the number of relearning steps
defined in the home deck (unless you have provided custom steps). This
means that if you have customized the number of relearning steps in the
home deck, the non-due card may be shown more than once.

If you have multiple steps, Anki will only consider the first answer
when deciding the next delay, and like relearning in normal decks,
"Good" and "Easy" differ only in the step change and not the resulting
delay.

## Rescheduling

By default, Anki will return cards to their home decks with altered scheduling,
based on your performance in the filtered deck. There is a **reschedule

In the v1 scheduler, cards were presented more similarly to how they normally

was lost when you studied them.

In the v1 scheduler, the numbers count _reviews_ needed to finish all the
cards in that queue, not the number of _cards_. If you have multiple
steps configured for lapsed cards, the number will increase by more than
one when you fail a card, since that card needs to be shown several times.
