Scanning

The scan tray

Review, edit and commit scans in batches; revisit scan history.

Scans don't go straight into your collection — they queue in the tray, so a scanning session stays fast and mistakes stay cheap.

The detection bar

When a card locks, a bar appears over the camera — most scans never need more than this:

  • Print chip (set · number) — tap to open the version picker and swap to a sibling printing.
  • Finish chip — tap to cycle normal → foil → etched (only the finishes the printing exists in).
  • QTY — tap to add another copy of the same card; long-press resets it to 1.
  • Condition chip — tap for the NM/LP/MP/HP/DMG dropdown.
  • The card's market price for the selected finish shows alongside.

Holding the same card in frame doesn't log duplicates — the scanner detects the repeat and offers a Scan another button instead, which is the deliberate way to add a second physical copy (or the same card in a different finish).

Reviewing the tray

Each tray item shows the matched printing. Row interactions: the ⋯ button opens the item's editor, the thumbnail opens the card's page, swipe left deletes the row, and a search field filters long trays. Before committing you can:

  • Correct the match — swap to another printing if the consensus picked a sibling version.
  • Set finish, condition and language per card (or in bulk). Picking a language re-keys the card onto that language's real printing — see Card languages.
  • Adjust quantity — scanned four copies? Set ×4 instead of scanning it four times.
  • Remove false positives.

Committing

Saving commits the whole tray to one destination — a binder, list or deck (when the scanner was opened from a binder's + → Scan, it commits straight to that binder, no picker). There's no partial commit: remove the rows you don't want first, then save. Committed cards behave like any other copy — they appear in Owned, count toward value, and can be edited later.

Committing to a deck works slightly differently: cards land in the mainboard, and conditions are dropped (decks don't track NM/LP — the condition lives on your collection copies).

The tray survives

The tray persists on your device: close the app mid-session and your un-committed scans are right where you left them when you come back.
