## Highlights
> As I write this, there's multiple ways to invoke this feature:
> right-click on a bullet and use the ∆ icon.
> If the block has children, this is going to move only the top-level bullet. To see the child-blocks in the future as well, choose the ∆... option
> hit Option/Alt-Enter to immediately move the block to the future (1 day by default)
> hit Shift-Option/Alt-Enter to immediately move the block and its children to the future (1 day by default)
> manuall enter {{[[∆]]}} in a block ([View Highlight](https://instapaper.com/read/1366576142/14767423))
> To see the card again in the future, you shift-click the Δ icon. It's important to shift-click, so that the "backside" of the card, the translation, gets moved as well ([View Highlight](https://instapaper.com/read/1366576142/14767426))
> {{[[query]]: {and: [[srs]] [[espanol]] [[∆]] {not: [[r/moved]]} {between: [[September 8th, 2020]] [[January 1st, 2020]]}}}}
> Let me talk you through it:
> [[srs]] gets you all your flashcards
> [[espanol]] means you only want those that deal with Spanish
> [[∆]] means you only want those that are scheduled
> {not: [[r/moved]]} means you don't want the previous times you've looked at the card
> {between: TOMORROW [[January 1st, 2020]]} means you get all cards that were due today or before. ([View Highlight](https://instapaper.com/read/1366576142/14767445))
> The between clause is where a lot of magic happens. It excludes cards that are scheduled for the future, and it allows you to not worry about skipping days and then missing the review. So if you don't use Roam for a day or so, no worries. Your cards will still show up for review ([View Highlight](https://instapaper.com/read/1366576142/14767450))
