I divide my flashcards into categories based on the chapter or lesson I'm dealing with.
What I currently do to add new dictionary-based flashcards to that category: go to Settings; go to Flashcards; go to Default Category; and choose the category. I then go the Dictionary, search for the word, and press the little "+" button at the top to add it to the category. Straightforward, and this works OK when I first create and fill the category. Often however when I'm looking at the lesson later I'll want to add one or two more cards to the category, and I can't find a convenient way to do this - the above process seems quite belaboured if I'm just adding a single card.
I know that if I want to make my "own" flashcards I can go to Organize Cards, get to the category, and choose "New Card" at the bottom. But as far as I can tell that doesn't let me choose words from the dictionary. I'd like to be quickly able to just add another dictionary-based card from within the category, rather than change the default as described above. Is this possible? I'm guessing I'm missing something.
A similar streamlining issue: is it possible to just start a flashcard study session when I'm looking at the category? Of course I can choose New Test, then go through and select the categories, but often I just want to quickly do a review of whatever category I'm looking at (or have indeed just created). I've already "selected" it by looking at it - it seems a little redundant to go back through several other steps to re-select it for studying.
Thanks in advance!
(Apologies if there's already a thread about these issues, but I couldn't find it.)
