Updating: Yomichan

This section is dedicated to updating Yomichan settings required to use JPMN.

Updating Yomichan's Anki Card Format

To update the Yomichan Format, the steps should be almost the same as the one specified already in the setup. The most important difference is that if a new field was added or a field has been renamed, then the field will not show up automatically in Yomichan.

Refreshing Yomichan Fields

  1. As always, create a backup of your Yomichan settings, just in case.
  2. After installing the note update, create a temporary copy of the note by:
    Tools
    → Manage Note Types
    → Add
    → Select Clone: JP Mining Note → Ok
    → Name this to anything you want. The following examples will use JP Mining Note copy.
    → Ok
    → Close
  3. If you are currently viewing Yomichan Settings, please refresh the page.
  4. Head over to Anki Card Format as before.
  5. In the top right corner, change Model to JP Mining Note copy, and then change it back to JP Mining Note. (If you don't see JP Mining Note copy, please refresh the page.)
  6. Update the fields as specified.
    • It should be specified in the text you see when updating. However, you should also simply compare the table on the setup page to your filled out fields.
  7. Remove the temporary note:
    Tools
    → Manage Note Types
    → (select JP Mining Note copy)
    → Delete

Explanation

Using the temporary copy of the updated card means that fields that remain unchanged between the old card and new card will be transferred automatically in the Yomichan Format. If you simply choose some random model like Basic, then almost none of the fields will be preserved, as the Basic card does not have any matching fields with the JP Mining Note model.

Updating Yomichan Templates

Like the above, you can simply follow the steps already specified in setup.

Again, please make a backup of your Yomichan settings just in case, and again, please make sure you reset the existing templates (unless you know what you are doing).

Note that your Yomichan template options will be reset if you follow all the steps. I recommend temporarily saving a copy of the Yomichan templates so you can easily reset your Yomichan template options after updating.
