## Language is universal across Studio and Memo Agent

When you change **Output Language** in any Studio customize dialog, that updates your default output language across all Studio generations and your Memo Agent panel.  
If you leave it on **Auto**, Memo detects the source language automatically.

### Customize before generating

1.  In **Studio**, click the pencil icon on **Flashcards**.

## What the customization options do

- **Skill / style**: shapes the output format, such as basic cards, quiz-style cards, or cloze-heavy card patterns.

- **Generation mode**: controls how aggressively Memo covers the selected sources.

- **Card count controls**: help you keep the set concise or expand coverage.

- **Output language**: changes the language used in the generated cards.

- **Custom instructions**: adds your own focus areas or formatting guidance.

## After generation

From the generated flashcard set, you can:

- open it in the editor

- review it in **Learn**

- run a **Cram** session

- rename it

- delete it

- export it as text, PDF, or Anki

- reset the learning state for that set

## Important notes

- Flashcards are generated from the sources currently selected in the notebook.

- Deep Dive is meant for broader coverage and may take longer than Standard.

- Some accounts may see additional experimental controls during limited rollout.

- Learn and Cram happen after the flashcard set has been created.
