Redoing lessons and reviews after a long pause

Hello all!

I am wanting to get back into wanikani at level 15, but I am quite reluctant about restarting for like the fourth time. Is there some way (or some third party solution) to selecting all lessons once again and doing them? Because I cannot do it in wanikani as I have burned a lot of the low level items… I want to do it like Bunpro where you can cram what you want. Even burned items.

Thanks for the help! Anyone else been in this situation? If so, how did you move forward, and get back into it?

I haven’t been in this scenario, but couldn’t you go to Settings > Danger Zone > Reset Account to be able to “unburn” the items?

I don’t know if you can redo the lessons without un-burning the items, though; I don’t know if there is a direct equivalent of the cram feature.

You can also just review the burned items directly from the dashboard (if this isn’t there, navigate to Settings then Customize Dashboard to add the extra study widget) if this is what you’re looking for. This just does a review of all the burned items.

I hope this helped you. Good luck!

Thank you! Maybe I will do a partial reset as you say, I think this is very reasonable just to get a small hike backwards. The extra study feature is something i did not have on my homepage by default, so thanks a lot for informing me about this, that is going to help me! :smiley:

You can add burned items back into your reviews, but as far as I know, you have to do it one at a time. I recently did this with a vocabulary word that I realized I had completely forgotten despite having burned it.

To do so, click on the radical, kanji, or vocabulary item (I’d suggest using the navigation panes at the top of the page and going level by level, then opening the page for each one you want to unburn). If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page for the item in question, you get this:

In the bottom left, there is a “Resurrect” button. Use that to unburn it. The downside is that you have to do them one by one. The upside is that there may be some you don’t actually need to unburn, so you can be more selective than a reset.
