Flashcard Undo

I am using the legacy flashcard SRS settings (6 scale self-scoring), and when I select "correct" or "incorrect", if I later use the navigation button to see cards I have already reviewed, I see I can use the "undo" button to change the score I assigned, but only within the same "correct" or "incorrect" category I selected earlier. Sometimes I find I accidentally select the wrong option, and I want to change this, and the legacy version let me do this, but I can't find a way to do this in v4.0. Is this still available somewhere?

Incidentally, I often like to see what the effect is on submitting a correct or incorrect answer given the self-score I provided. In the legacy version, I believe I could see this by going back to a card I have just scored and in the upper right I'll see something like "1d7h" to show that's when the card will be next reviewed, but it will change if I undo and change the score I gave that. Is this still possible to do? I still see the field showing time to next review, but it doesn't seem to get updated when I change the score.

Sorry, that looks like a bug - for now, if you set it to show you all 6 choices instead of choosing correct/incorrect first, that should give you all of those options for undo.

I don't believe we ever supported an interval preview like that intentionally, but it wouldn't be hard to add - might make more sense as part of the undo menu, though.

Thanks for confirming the bug. Where can I change the setting to show all 6?

FWIW, I think the internal preview for next review date is *super* useful. I found the default SRS settings way to aggressive about pushing cards way out into the future after just a few "4" scores, and I spent a lot of time experimenting with values until I found settings that matched better the frequency I needed for review. I found it particularly useful since there are so many nuances to how it works. Being able to see the preview gives me a much better idea of how in practice a give score influences the amount of review I will get on a particular word. Totally open to where it would show up in the UI!
