Hi! It sounds like you're having trouble adding subdecks within your decks in the Gizmo app. Let's see if we can get that sorted out.

To better help you, can you tell me:
- Are you trying to create a brand new subdeck, or move an existing deck under another deck to make it a subdeck?
- Are you using the latest version of the Gizmo app on your Windows device?
- What happens when you try to add a subdeck? Any error messages or does the option just not appear?

Meanwhile, here’s a common way to create subdecks in Gizmo:
1. Go to the page where you manage or add decks.
2. When creating a new deck, type the deck name including a forward slash (/) to indicate a subdeck structure. For example, if you want a “Biology” deck with a “Cell Structure” subdeck, name it “Biology/Cell Structure”.
3. Press enter or save. This should automatically nest the subdeck under the parent deck.

If you have already tried this method and it’s not working, or if your decks are not showing subdecks properly, let me know. There might be settings related to deck organization or app updates to check.

Would you mind sharing how you've been trying to add subdecks so we can find the best tailored steps?

Thanks for the extra info! Since you're not seeing an option to add a subdeck directly, let's try the method recommended by Gizmo’s official FAQ and user guides:

1. Navigate to the “Add” page in the Gizmo app.
2. Click the plus (+) icon in the dropdown menu to start creating a new deck.
3. When naming your new deck, use a slash (/) in the deck name to indicate it’s a subdeck of another. For example, type: MainDeck/SubdeckName.
4. Save or confirm the creation.

Gizmo automatically organizes the deck with the slash as a parent and subdeck relationship. Sometimes the option to "Add subdeck" isn’t a separate button but is done via this naming convention1.

If this doesn’t work or doesn’t show the structure you want, check if:

- Your app version is updated. Older versions might not support this feature fully.
- You have the right permissions or settings enabled to organize decks this way.

If you want, I can guide you through verifying your app version and settings next! How does that sound?

Thanks for clarifying that you want to create a subdeck within a subdeck inside a deck—so, a multi-level hierarchy like Deck > Subdeck > Sub-subdeck.

Gizmo organizes nested decks using slashes (/) in the deck names to indicate hierarchy. To create a subdeck within a subdeck, you can try naming your deck like this during creation:

MainDeck/Subdeck/SubSubdeck

For example, if your main deck is "Biology," a subdeck is "Cells," and the sub-subdeck is "Mitochondria," you'd name it exactly as:

Biology/Cells/Mitochondria

When you create it, Gizmo should automatically nest "Mitochondria" as a subdeck inside "Cells," which is inside "Biology."

Here are the steps:

1. Go to the Add Deck page or click the +Deck button on the Decks page.
2. In the deck name field, type the full nested name with slashes, such as MainDeck/Subdeck/SubSubdeck.
3. Press enter or save.
4. Gizmo will create the multilayer nested deck structure.

If this method still does not show sub-subdecks nested properly:

- Make sure your app is fully updated, as older versions might not support deep nesting well.
- It’s possible Gizmo visually limits displayed subdeck nesting levels in certain views; check if the sub-subdeck appears in the list.
- Review any app settings related to deck organization or folder views.

If the issue persists, a possible alternative would be to manage the sub-subdecks via renaming/deck moving options, but Gizmo’s official method is naming with slashes for nesting1 2.

Would you like me to help you verify your app version and locate the setting to confirm this behavior?

Great question! To get to the Add Deck page in the Gizmo app, you can do one of the following:

1. Open the Gizmo app and navigate to the main Decks page.
2. Look for a +Deck button (usually near the top or bottom of the decks list) and click it.
3. This will bring up the area where you can type the name of a new deck, including nested decks using the slash (/) naming convention we talked about.

Alternatively, there’s also an Add page with a dropdown menu where you can type a new deck name directly and press enter to create it1.

So basically, the Add Deck page is accessed via the +Deck button on the Decks main page, or through the Add page if the app interface has that option.

If you want, I can guide you step-by-step through opening the app and locating this button on your Windows Gizmo app specifically. Would you like that?

Do I leave a space between the slashes

Good question! When you're creating nested decks in Gizmo using the slash (/) to indicate subdecks, you should not leave spaces between the slashes. The deck name should be continuous with slashes directly connecting the levels.

For example:
<br>MainDeck/Subdeck/SubSubdeck<br>
rather than
<br>MainDeck / Subdeck / SubSubdeck<br>

Leaving spaces might cause Gizmo not to recognize the nested structure properly. Just type the names with slashes and no spaces for the hierarchy to work as expected.

If you want, I can walk you through creating one with this naming style step-by-step. Would you like me to do that?
