Yeah
I seem to have found a workaround for now for my use case. But still think it may be a good option to have, especially with the assumption of community decks becoming more prevalent.

Hi there! So sorry if I am stupid but I cannot seem to find the option of creating own deck? I selected “yes” to opt-in for Beta version and also checked community decks - but no option for me to create deck. What am I doing wrong?
Any advice highly appreciated

You’ll want to be in the “my decks” section and scroll down below your learning queue until you see create deck

Wow, you have a “Nouns” deck!
I have a feeling there might be a lot of words coming to that deck

Quick question about custom decks: I can’t find the option to change the pic for my deck. Surely this is something that can be done?
Thanks a lot for the help
Edit: Found it. The big pencil next to the decks name 
How could I even miss that?

Two feature requests for custom decks:
- Being able to set a specific SRS level for each item, rather than only “Mastered” or adding to reviews at the deck default SRS level.
- Multi-select items. Currently we can only set mastered for all items, or individually on each item, it would be nice to be able to select multiple.

Hi there! Thanks for the suggestions.
Can you please elaborate on #1 and what that might look like?
Something like this (…I’m not a designer though ):
The use case is where I’ve imported a bunch of vocab, some of which I already know, but not well enough to be mastered. It would be nice to be able to set specific levels rather than the only options being default deck level, or mastered.

Ahhh OK! makes sense!
Added that as a note in the project notes for the Decks page revamp. 🙇♂️
(Can’t 100% guarantee it will be there in the final thing tho)

I’m late to the party! I tried making my own deck and it simply won’t load. Once I set the name, description, type, link, and photo, the window closes to the “My Decks” section without a new custom deck.
I cleared my cookies and tried in an incognito tab since that was a problem for me once before, but still no luck.
Any insight or help would be appreciated!

Hi there!
Can you please DM me with all the input details of the Deck that you’re trying to create?
The title, description, image, category etc.
Could be a validation issue with whatever you’re trying to input.
Thanks!

Is there a way (planned) for custom decks to use the more fancy review types? I recently tried the reading review type and I really like it, but it of course only works for words that have sentences attached to them. I don’t think there is currently a way for users to create these sentences themselves, and it seems impossible for bunpro to create sentences for every possible word.
I think this would be a great addition to the custom decks feature, although I am not sure how feasible it is.

Oh, I’ve realised I also didn’t previously put my Rabbit Deck and my Japanese Festivals and Holidays Deck here!
Please enjoy these too

Duplicate words in Custom Decks:
- On CSV import could we have the results window have an indication to say if we already have this word in another deck?
- Also a menu item on a deck to ‘remove words (from this deck) already in other decks’
It would also be nice to have a ‘stats’ readout for each deck that states how many words are which JLPT/non-Jlpt level for a quick overview of the level of the deck.

can I ask why having duplicates across decks matter? any review done for a vocab in one deck is completed across all decks. if you just did a review for a vocab in DECK1, It wont show you another review for it from DECK2. (unless of course you have ghosts on or its a beginner vocab that happens to be due during your next review session ).
anyway, the srs for a vocab is maintained across all decks

The shared progress is indeed a great design feature!
As for removal of duplicates, It’s purely to maintain accurate numbers of content collated from varying sources in relation to the expected amount of content from a deck that would be truly new - Especially in the case of mining content where a user would advance beyond having started vocab from a previous deck in Bunpro, they may overinflate later mined decks with redundant vocab, resulting in goal expectations not being met etc.
