Learning templates put your next review in the calendar. [← All features](https://www.snowfoxnotes.com/en/features) Learning # Think first, then check. Reveal blocks work as flashcards: the question stays visible, the answer hidden until you click. That’s how you learn with your own notes. Reveal blocks ## Flashcards, right in your note. A block has a visible line – a question, say – and below it a hidden part, the answer. ![Die Notiz „Spanisch – Lektion 4“ mit Blöcken zum Aufdecken: Bei „Wo ist der Bahnhof?“ ist die Antwort aufgedeckt, die zwei Fragen darunter sind noch zu.](https://www.snowfoxnotes.com/media/91/conversions/aufdecken-large.webp) The arrow in front of the block shows and hides the answer. Flashcards ## Next time you open it, everything’s closed again. Add a reveal block via “/” or the toolbar. You can tuck away solutions or long details the same way. - Revealing doesn’t change the note: open it again and everything’s hidden – for others reading it too - In the note list, the preview gives no answers away - Search still finds the answers ![Ausschnitt: drei Blöcke zum Aufdecken – eine Frage mit sichtbarer Antwort „¿Dónde está la estación?“ und zwei zugeklappte Fragen.](https://www.snowfoxnotes.com/media/92/conversions/nah-aufdecken-large.webp) Learning templates ## Five templates for learning. They come with the app, in German and English – change them as you like. ### Flashcards Question on top, answer hidden. Plus reviews in the calendar: tomorrow, in three days, in one week and in three weeks. ### Vocabulary A lesson to test yourself on: words and sentences with hidden translations, the hard ones collected, reviews in the calendar. ### Study note For a lecture, course or book chapter: notes, questions from them with hidden answers, a summary. ### Exam preparation A folder up to the exam: a three-week study plan with dates, flashcards per topic, terms at a glance and a list of mistakes. ### Book note What’s in a book: the ideas, the quotes, what you take away – and questions so you still know it later. Reviews ## Your next review is in the calendar. Learning templates add it as a task. You see it on the day it’s due and tick it off there.

Review The dates are tasks in the calendar. Open the note, reveal the answers and tick off the review. ### Good to know - When printing and in the Evernote export, the answers are out in the open - Obsidian shows the block closed just the same Questions ## Questions about learning ### Does the note remember what I revealed? No. Revealing doesn’t change the note: open it again and everything’s hidden – for others reading it too. ### How do I plan reviews? The learning templates add them as tasks with dates – the flashcards template, for example, for tomorrow, in three days, in one week and in three weeks. You can also give any task a date yourself. ### Does search find the hidden answers? Yes. In the note list the preview gives no answers away, but search still finds them. ## Curious? Give it a try.
