Turn on learning

Turning on learning changes the page from a regular page into a learning page.

It does not change the content. It adds learning behavior around the page.

Turning on learning does not replace your page or change what you wrote.

It tells Yuhimo that this page should become part of your review system.

After learning is enabled, Yuhimo can track review state, accept recall ratings, and schedule the next review date for that page. See How learning pages work for more detail.

Turn on learning when the page contains knowledge worth remembering.

Use learning for:

• concepts you want to retain
• technical notes
• course material
• language learning
• project knowledge
• summaries of important articles
• personal knowledge you want to keep active

Turn on learning when a page contains knowledge you want to keep active.

A page does not need to be perfect or finished. It only needs to contain something worth reviewing later.

Not every page should be reviewed. Some pages are just references or temporary notes.

Use regular pages for:

• temporary drafts
• random notes
• reference-only material
• content you do not need to remember
• pages that are useful to store but not useful to review

Do not turn every page into a learning page.

If a page is only a reference, a draft, or something you do not need to remember, keep it as a regular page.

A smaller set of meaningful learning pages is usually better than a huge review queue full of low-value notes.

Open the page you want to learn.

Open the page menu and choose "Set as learning page". If the page has child pages, you can add only this page, this page and its descendants, or only the descendants.

After learning is enabled, the page becomes a learning page and can be included in Yuhimo's review system.

If you have not created the page yet, start with Create your first page.

When learning is enabled, Yuhimo creates a learning state for the page.

Learning state can include:

• stability
• difficulty
• next review date
• review history after ratings begin

This state helps Yuhimo decide when the page should appear again in review.

You do not need to manage these values manually. Yuhimo updates them after you rate your recall. For a simple overview, see FSRS-light explained.

No. Questions are optional.

The page can be reviewed without questions. Questions can be added before or after enabling learning.

You do not need questions before turning on learning. Questions can make reviews easier, but they are optional. You can add questions manually, generate them with AI, or review the page without questions.

After learning is enabled, the page becomes part of your learning system.

When it is due, it can appear in a review session. During review, you check your recall and choose a rating: Again, Hard, Good, or Easy.

Yuhimo then updates the page and schedules the next review.

Turning on learning does not turn your page into a traditional flashcard.

The page remains the main unit. It can be a short note, a long explanation, or a structured topic.

Questions can help you review, but the learning page is still the thing being scheduled. See How learning pages work for the full picture.

You create a page called "React useEffect cleanup".

At first, it is just a normal note.

Later, you realize this concept is important and you want to remember it.

You turn on learning.

Now Yuhimo can include the page in review sessions. You add two questions, review the page later, choose Good, and Yuhimo schedules the next review.

Good learning pages:

• React useEffect cleanup
• German modal verbs
• SQL indexes overview
• Project authentication decisions
• Biology: cell membrane
• Investment thesis notes
• Important API behavior

Weak learning candidates:

• Random links
• Temporary todo
• Meeting draft
• Article I only need once
• Large reference page with nothing specific to remember

Turn on learning when a page contains knowledge you want to remember long-term.

Learning keeps the page as a normal Yuhimo page, but adds review scheduling around it. You can use questions if they help, but the core idea is simple: choose the pages that matter and let Yuhimo bring them back for review.

Does every page need learning enabled?

No. Learning is optional. Use it only for pages you want to review over time.

Can I turn on learning after writing the page?

Yes. You can start with a regular page and enable learning later.

Do I need questions before enabling learning?

No. Questions are optional and can be added later.

Will the page content change when I turn on learning?

No. Turning on learning adds review behavior around the page. It does not rewrite your content.

Will the page appear in review sessions immediately?

It can appear when it becomes due according to its learning schedule.

Is a learning page the same as a flashcard?

No. A learning page remains a page. Questions are optional prompts, not the main learning unit.
