Excluding takes an item out of study without deleting it. There are two kinds, and your progress is kept with either.
The two kinds
| What it does | How it is set | How it clears | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Excluded from all study | Never comes up: no reviews, Quick Study, paths or waypoints | Exclude from study, then confirm | Restore |
| Excluded from reviews | No reviews; still comes up when you study a path or collection | Leave, or Quick Study with the box off | Restore, Add to reviews, Enroll, or studying it in something you're enrolled in or in Quick Study with the box on |
Excluded from reviews only stops reviews. The item still comes up when you study a path or collection, and your progress keeps counting.
Exclude from all study during a session
- Pause the session.
- Choose Exclude from study.
- Confirm.
The item leaves the session at once and stays out of all study until you restore it. Word, kana and kanji pages offer the same action.
Leave and Quick Study
- Leave: "Take N items out of my reviews" excludes from reviews the items you studied there that are in nothing else you are enrolled in.
- Quick Study: with Add studied items to my reviews off, items new to you that are in nothing you are enrolled in stay out of your reviews.
Excluded items on your dashboard
Excluded items on your dashboard counts both kinds. Tap a count to list those items, on any account.
Restore
The item rejoins your study and reviews where its schedule had reached, so it may be due at once.
Remove
Your study record for the item is deleted. A confirmation step comes first.
An item's own page also shows its status, with Restore or Add to reviews.
What Remove deletes
Remove clears your review history for that item: its mastery levels, its accuracy, and its schedule. The next time you study it, it counts as brand new. The word or character itself stays in the dictionary and in every collection that holds it.
Removing an item cannot be undone. Choose Restore if you want the item back with the progress you earned on it.
The Mastery dashboard
Pro opens the Mastery dashboard: everything you have studied, with search, filters, per-skill detail, and an Excluded filter. It is the deep view. Restoring and removing live in Excluded items on the dashboard, on every account.
