A preset supplies a nav's banner, dividers, edge emoji and colour variants. Three are available. A nav carries up to six links.

What a preset controls

  • The banner row.
  • The dividers: the top divider under the banner and the body divider between links.
  • One edge emoji per platform, plus an optional default for platforms without their own.
  • The colour variants offered in the Color dropdown.

The three presets

An unlisted platform is any link whose platform has no emoji of its own in that preset — most links to a project's own site, among others.

Saving and sending

The nav reaches your running bot the same way any other command change does.

Editing an existing nav

Opening a saved nav

  1. Open the bot's Commands tab.
  2. Find the nav's row, select it and click Edit.
  3. The builder opens on Step 4 (Preset), pre-loaded with the saved preset, colour and trigger.
  4. Change the preset, colour, links (via “Edit links”), or the trigger, then confirm through to Save Changes.

Editing never re-scans the site. The saved links appear first, checked, followed by every other link from the original scan, unchecked.

Deleting a nav uses the same delete control and confirmation as any other command.
