FAQ
Short answers for the questions staff usually run into while setting up Central, running commands, or fixing channel and role issues.
Setup
Where should I start setup?
Invite Central, open the dashboard, select your server, then configure staff roles and the channels for the modules you need. The setup tutorial walks through the full order.
What does /settings do?
/settings opens a link to the dashboard. Configure modules, channels, roles, and message templates there.
What permissions should Central have?
Central's invite requests Administrator to make setup straightforward. If you restrict its permissions later, give it View Channels, Send Messages, Embed Links, Attach Files, Read Message History, and Use Application Commands. Role Connections also needs Manage Roles and a higher bot role; Tickets needs Manage Channels and Manage Roles.
Who can use moderation commands?
Set administrator and moderator roles in Moderation. Discord role hierarchy still applies: staff cannot punish members with an equal or higher role.
Commands
Why is a command missing from a module?
Each module only shows commands it actually changes. Use Overview search when you need to find a command fast.
How do suggestions and tickets work?
Members use /suggest to send an idea to your review channel. Ticket panels open private channels for a member and your support roles.
How do poll and giveaway durations work?
Use values like 30m, 1h, or 2d. Hidden polls need a duration so Central can reveal the winner/results when voting ends.
Logging
Where do moderation logs post?
Open Moderation and select the action log channel. Use Logging for message, member, and other server audit events.
Can all logs go into one channel?
Yes. Turn off “Specify Channels For Each Log Type” and set General Logs. Moderation action logs can use that channel too if you select it in Moderation.
Can command logs go to separate channels?
Yes. Turn on separate log channels, then choose destinations for moderation commands, utility commands, and other categories.
Does /purge save what it deletes?
Yes. Purge logs create a transcript and send it to the configured logging channel.
Applications
Where do I edit acceptance messages?
Open Applications, select an application, and edit the accepted DM embed for that application.
Can each application use a different panel channel?
Yes. Each application panel can save its own channel and linked applications.
Where do variables like {guild.name} work?
Use the Documentation page for the variable list. Variables work in text-related dashboard fields when Central has a matching value for that command or message.
Troubleshooting
Why did Central fail with Unknown Message?
That usually means Discord deleted, moved, or timed out the message Central tried to edit. Try the command again, then check that the bot can read and manage messages in that channel.
Why is a post not showing in the channel I selected?
Make sure the module has the right channel saved and Central can View Channel, Send Messages, Embed Links, and Read Message History there.
Why does a role selector look empty?
Refresh channels and roles from the dashboard. If it still looks empty, the bot may not be in the selected server or Discord did not return that role list.
