Review

Spaced repetition is a learning technique that schedules review sessions at increasing intervals to maximize retention and minimize forgetting. Instead of studying everything all at once, you review notes just before you’re likely to forget them — reinforcing memory more effectively over time.

In Flotes, spaced repetition is built into the notebook system. Each notebook progresses through different states based on how often it’s studied and its specific configuration.

Spacing States

Notebooks have many potential states that affect their sidenav order, visibility, and when their webhooks fire (advanced). These states are configurable per notebook.

Not Started: This notebook has not been studied
Waiting: Scheduled — will become optimal on its ideal study date
Optimal: Ready to be studied now
Sub-optimal: Slightly overdue for review
Overdue: Significantly past its ideal review time
Complete: Studied enough to be considered complete
Archived: Hidden from active notebooks; spacing is paused
Resource: Not intended for study; spacing is disabled
