**Good to know:** 

Text surrounded by **\[ ]** are required inputs for the command to work and text surrounded by **< >** are optional inputs.\
\
Also if you are not familiar with Discord Slash commands, it is better to always type a command rather than trying to copy and paste the commands.&#x20;
