## Plugins it names

Named only. The build adds the channels and roles; install each plugin afterwards from your server's Plugins page, with its own settings.

- Welcome: Greets new members in a channel with a message and a rendered welcome card, and can give them a starting role.
- Role picker: Members give themselves roles from a menu you choose, one at a time or several.
- Leveling: XP for chatting once a minute, levels with role rewards, level-up messages, /rank cards and a /leaderboard.
- Starboard: Posts messages that get enough stars to a starboard channel, with the author, a link back and a live count.
- Suggestions: A Suggest button that posts members' ideas with up and down votes, a discussion thread and a staff verdict.
- Giveaways: Runs giveaways with a button to enter, a set end time and winners drawn at random.
- Mod log: Posts a line in a staff channel for each moderator action: who did what to whom, and why.

## Never copied

Members, messages, emojis, webhooks, plugin settings, private channels and age-restricted channels. Bond adds to your server and changes nothing already there.

## What happens when you build it

- Pick the server. If Bond is not in it yet, Discord asks you to add Bond and the template comes along. If it is, the dashboard asks which server.
- Read one card. Bond shows what it will create, with counts and the first names, and waits for Confirm or Deny.
- It is built. The same card counts up as it goes. Nothing is asked of a model, so it costs no tokens.
