Variables are the first step in unlocking the ability for your bot to be better used in multi-server settings. Custom variables allow you to store data to be used by your bot through creating custom Global, Server Specific, Channel Specific or User specific variables. You can read more information about them in the Variables and Data Storage pages.
When adding blocks to the command/event builder, you will notice every block has a setting called 'Label'. This will change the name of the block from its default name to something of your choice, this is incredibly handy for pointing out key parts of the command/event, or if you are working with multiple Collab users.

Permission Options
Here you can select roles that are allowed to use the command, banned roles, required permissions to use the command an/or banned channels.
Subcommands are a great way to group your commands into small categories. You can for example use "economy" as the first word of all the commands of your economy system to group them together. To do so, simply add in the trigger the name of the "category" you want the command to be in with a space, followed by the command's name. You can have up to 25 subcommands per command.
You cannot have a command with the same name of a subcommand "category". This means that if you have two subcommands named /item add and /item remove, you cannot have a command named /item.
Events can be used to execute actions when an something happens in your Discord server. You can let them trigger with channel creations & deletions, when a user gets kicked or banned, when a role is created or deleted and much more!
