The editor shows an error marker in the gutter when JSON is invalid. Warnings are shown for missing/empty fields (these may still be editable before creation). CSV/TSV Mode Select CSV/TSV mode.

Example CSV: Front,Back What is the capital of France?,Paris What is the highest mountain?,Mount Everest Example TSV: Front Back What is the capital of France? Paris What is the highest mountain?

Select the note type, then use those field names as JSON keys or map CSV columns to them. Are nested JSON objects supported? No. Each card must be a flat object (field name -> value). Can I create notes in nested decks? Yes. Use / in the deck name (example: Parent/Child ). Do settings persist? Yes. The add-on stores the last-used note type and deck using Anki add-on config. Troubleshooting JSON shows an error marker Fix the JSON syntax on the highlighted line, then validate again. Cards show missing-field warnings One or more cards have empty/missing fields for the selected note type. Edit the generated cards before creating them. CSV values go into the wrong fields Check the Field Mapping section and map each field to the correct CSV/TSV column. Notes are created in the wrong deck Check the Deck field. Use / for nested decks.
