Using the Card Editor

Note: Set device selection in User Settings for best experience: Canvas designed to reflect size of your phone!

The Card Editor is SuperCards' core content creation feature, providing a dedicated editing environment where you can create and edit cards with rich text and image elements. It operates as a standalone window with two distinct modes:

  • Quick Card Mode: For creating/editing cards in the Brain Dump
  • Deck Mode: For creating/editing cards within a specific deck

The Card Editor launches with a vertical side panel on the right to enable saving and cycling through cards. The precise panel configuration depends on which mode is active. You can learn more about each unique configuration in the next section. For now, we'll look at the horizontal toolbar spanning the top of the editor.
