Is it possible to keep my changes to the card templates while upgrading? #400

Unfortunately, not easily just with the import dialog. (At least not yet — it's somewhere on the CrowdAnki roadmap.)

For now, as a possibly slightly faster alternative to manually copying the templates, I'd recommend

  1. Exporting your existing deck with CrowdAnki.
  2. In that exported json removing the contents of the "notes" field (just leaving "notes": []) and the "media_files" field (again leaving just "media_files": []`)
  3. Importing 4.1 with CrowdAnki.
  4. Importing your edited json.

(This will import the new field contents and media, while keeping your edits to the templates and to the deck options, with the very tiny downside of overwriting the 4.1 description.)
