Prefix and settings

Each server sets its own prefix. Settings is the map.

You will

You know the prefix and where to see the rest of the config.

Examples use the default prefix, a comma.

Before you start

  • You can manage the server, or you own it.

Set it up

  1. Show the prefix. Ask near what this server uses. Examples in these docs start with a comma so they stay readable.
    ,prefix
  2. Change it. Pick a short prefix people will not type by accident. After you change it, old examples still show a comma on this site. Type your prefix in Discord.
    ,prefix !
  3. Open settings. Settings lists prefix, joining, filter, and logs first, then extra roles. The Discord owner can open the same fields on the dashboard.
    ,settings
