Signature Box Review Sets from past progress
When you confirmed where you were in your language journey, the app created Review Sets for the earlier Challenges and Tours you completed.
You did not add all of those past phrases during setup. You only added past Focus Phrases for your current Challenge.
When one of your earlier Review Sets comes up for Review, the app will first ask you to add the phrases you practiced during that Challenge.
You only need to add phrases manually for Review Sets created from progress you completed before using the new app.
Once you begin practicing in the new app, your Focus Phrases are added to future Review Sets automatically.
1. Open the Review that says you’re missing past phrases
Go to Review and open the Review Set that says No phrases yet or 0 Phrases.
The app will show the Practice Sessions from that Challenge so you can rebuild the phrases you practiced before switching to the new app.
2. Add the phrase you practiced in each Practice Session
Tap Add Phrase under a Practice Session.
You can search by keyword to quickly find the exact phrase you practiced.
Tap the heart beside the phrase, then tap Save.
If you practiced two Focus Phrases in that Practice Session, you can add the second phrase too.
3. Fill in the Review Set
For a Tour 1 Review Set, add 10–20 phrases from that Challenge.
If the Review Set is from Tour 2 or later, it can contain fewer than 10 phrases if that reflects what you actually practiced during that Tour.
Once the required past phrases are added, save your changes.
4. Confirm your phrases
Review the phrases you entered, then confirm your selection.
Once confirmed, those phrases will be saved to that Review Set and it will be ready for Review.
5. Complete the Review
The Review Set will now appear with its phrases ready to practice.
Play the native-speaker audio and practice each phrase in a situation or with an emotion, just like your other Reviews.
Booster Review Sets from past progress
The first time you open a Booster, the app asks how many full phrases you previously practiced from that Booster.
It uses that number to create the appropriate past Review Sets.
Before reviewing those sets, you’ll add the phrases you practiced so the app knows what to bring back for Review.
