The current process for reviewing linked cards when you try to archive a card is clunky.

  1. You click Archive on Card A.
  2. It takes you to a page that says “Before archiving this Card, review the # Guru Cards that contain links to this one.”
  3. When you click on that link, it opens a list of cards in a new tab.
  4. When you click on one of those links, it opens that card (Card B) in the same tab where you were reviewing the list of cards.
    1. Click edit on Card B.
    2. There is nothing that highlights where the link is, so you have to manually search for it. This isn’t a huge issue as you can usually just ctrl+f but if Card B is large, or if the link doesn’t have the same name as Card A, it can be a little annoying.
  5. Once you edit Card B to remove/update the link, it takes you back to Card B. When you click the X on Card B, it takes you back to Card A, but not the list of cards that link to card A that you started on.
  6. You have to go back to your original tab and click “review the # Guru Cards that contain links to this one” again, or click Archive again in the new tab and start the process all over.

Suggestions to make this process smoother:

  • In step 4, when I click on Card B, open Card B in a new tab. This way I don’t lose the list of linked cards.
    • Highlight the link(s) in some way so I know exactly what part needs to be edited.
    • Maybe the link could even be automatically opened in edit mode to cut down on an extra click.
  • In step 5, when I finish editing, take me back to the list of linked cards rather than back to Card A or Card B.
  • Some kind of “find and replace link” feature where you can tell Guru “replace all instances of links to Card A with links to Card B.” Not a perfect fix for instances where the process has changed beyond solely linking a different card, but would save time when that is the case.
