Before you start

Sign in to keep the flashcards in your account. Use material you have permission to use. Automatic generation uses your available allowance; check the status and any access requirements shown in the app.

Use one public article URL that you have permission to study. Sign-in walls, blocked pages and pages without readable article text can prevent import.

1. Find the right place

On Home, choose “Generate from a link” and paste the article URL into “Source link”.

2. Prepare and choose

Use the article’s direct address, not a search-results page. Check that the page contains the material you want, then choose the output language. A title or snippet alone is not a substitute for the full source.

3. Check the settings

Choose “Output language”, then check your material before selecting “Continue”. Wait for the material to be organized. If a learning scope appears, select the sections you need and confirm that scope to generate. Uploading and parsing are preparation steps; they do not mean a finished flashcard set has been saved.

4. Check the result

Check the extracted learning scope before generation. Compare the cards with the article and keep qualifications that affect the answers. Find the saved set in your library after the task confirms saving.

Troubleshooting

If the page cannot be read, check that it is public and accessible. You can paste text you are allowed to use or upload a supported document instead. Do not repeatedly retry an access-restricted URL.
