To be able to view both directions, you need to make the notes
'reversible'. On the Mac, double click your case of notes, and
select the 'Reversible' option.<br>
Now you can study notes in reverse order on the Mac or the iPhone.
On the Mac, just choose a 'Reversed' slideshow in the Slideshow
menu. On iPhone, switch the Reverse Sides switch.<br>
The spaced repetition lesson will randomly reverse notes that are
reversible.<br>
So there are really 3 options: view notes in standard order; view
notes reversed; and study the lesson, where notes are randomly
reversed.<br>
Hope that helps.<br>
Kind regards,<br>

<p>Thanks for the astonishingly prompt reply! What timezone are you
on?</p>
<p>That clears it up perfectly thanks.</p>
<p>I think that because I had only three notes to start with, I
randomly got the same language for each prompt in the lesson which
fooled me into thinking it wasn't randomly using either "side".</p>
<p>A supplementary question - does mental case use a random order
for notes in a lesson by default? Indeed can you control it?</p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>
<p>Ian</p></div>Iantag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/56524142011-03-01T12:29:19Z2011-03-01T12:29:19ZReversible Cards<div><p>Hi Ian,<br>
Yes, random by default. You actually can't control it at the
moment. That's coming in version 2, which we are working on
now.<br>
(We are in Europe.) Kind regards,<br>

<p>Referent to your Last answer: i have Version 4.5 meanwhile.
Unfortunatly i dont find any Option to turn off the random reverse
in lesson mode. Cn you tell me where to find this option?</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

order of notes best for your learning. If a note is reversible, the
lesson can reverse it. If it doesn't make sense to reverse a note,
make sure that note is not 'reversible', ie the second side cannot
be used as a prompt.</p>
<p>If you want to study reversible notes in one order, you will
have to start a non-lesson slideshow, and use the switch to set
whether you want the notes reversed or not.</p>
<p>Hope that helps.<br>
Kind regards,<br>

making a note "reversible" but when I edit a note, no option seems
appropriate!...</p></div>ABerlintag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/56524142012-10-02T08:37:40Z2012-10-02T08:37:40ZReversible Cards<div><p>If you are not syncing with a Mac, you set the reversibility
using a switch in the case settings. When you make a new case, or
press Edit in the Library, you can tap the blue button and edit the
case settings. One option is reversibility.</p>
<p>If you are syncing with a Mac, you need to change the setting on
the Mac, and sync again. Easiest way is to double click the stack,
and choose a non-Reversible template. When asked if you want to
apply the new template, choose Apply.</p>
<p>Hope that helps.<br>
Kind regards,<br>

right-click and get info, select reversible (which it already was).
But when I run my slide show I only get the Spanish side -- never
the English side.</p>
<p>It seems this should be a really easy thing to accomplish.</p></div>Rothrocktag:mentalfaculty.tenderapp.com,2010-10-19:Comment/56524142013-06-18T05:35:58Z2013-06-18T05:35:58ZReversible Cards<div><p>I assume you are using Mental Case 2.4.3 for Mac. Here is how I
would start a reversible note slideshow:</p>
<p>1) Right click on the stack<br>
2) Choose the 'Reversible Note' template, and when asked, click
Apply to make all of your notes reversible (ie either facet can be
used as the prompt), and then the Save button. See screenshot.</p>
<p>3) Now that your notes are reversible, you can study them by
clicking the slideshow button at the bottom, and choosing 'Notes in
Stacks with Facets Reversed'</p>
<p>When you study due notes, you can't choose the order. The
scheduler will schedule each combination of facets separately, so
both should appear over several days.</p>
<p>The reason we require you to make the notes reversible before
you can study them that way is so that the scheduler knows it is
possible to reverse those notes. Otherwise, you might get notes
being due in reverse order that can't really be studied that way
(eg a question and answer would appear with answer first).</p>
<p>Hope that helps.<br>
Kind regards,<br>
