Publish checklist
The last pass before your deck goes live.
What & why
Publishing is a deliberate click — nothing goes public on its own, so the deck goes out exactly as you leave it. This is the short pass that catches the things learners notice and you stopped seeing hours ago: a typo, a card that made sense only in your head, an image you never sourced.
The rule
Before you publish, study your own deck end-to-end once, as a learner would.
It’s the step everyone skips and the one that catches the most. Reviewing your deck as a learner — reading each front, answering it, checking the back — surfaces the ambiguous prompts, the two-fact cards, and the answers you can’t actually grade. If a card trips you up, it will trip up every learner who comes after.
The checklist
Run through these before that final click:
- Cards proofread. No typos, and every answer is correct.
- One fact per card. No answer with an “and” hiding two things in it. See One card, one fact.
- Fronts ask, don’t display. Each front is a question, not a heading. See Ask, don’t display.
- Every media source recorded. You know where each image and clip came from and that you can share it. See Media & licensing.
- Title & description pass the quality bar. They say who the deck is for and what the learner will recall. See Title & description.
- Language & category set correctly, so learners can find it.
- Studied end-to-end once — the rule above.
When it applies
Before the first publish, and again before any update that changes cards. Republishing a deck reaches everyone who studies it, so give an edited deck the same quick pass you gave the original.
