Situatie
A Discord server template is essentially a blueprint or a structural outline of your server. It captures and saves the following elements of your server:
- Channel Categories: The organization of your channels (e.g., “General,” “Gaming,” “Moderation”)
- Channels (text and voice): The names and types of your channels
- Channel Permissions: The specific permissions set at the channel level
- Roles: The names, colors, and permissions of your roles (but without any members assigned to these roles)
- Default Server Settings: Such as the verification level.
What a template does NOT include:
- Messages: No messages within channels are included
- Members: No server members are included
- Custom Emojis, Stickers, Sound Packs: These are not included
- Server Boosts or Boost Levels: These are not transferred
- Discovery or Community Settings: These need to be configured separately on the new server.
Server templates are incredibly useful and can save a lot of time and effort:
- Quick Setup for New Servers:
- For Yourself: If you want to create a new personal server, a server for a group of friends, or a server for a new project, you can use an existing template to have it ready in seconds, without manually recreating all channels and roles.
- For Others: If you’re helping someone set up a server or want to provide a foundation for a community, you can simply give them your template link.
- Consistency and Standardization:
- For Organizations/Brands: If you manage multiple servers (e.g., for different games, company divisions, or different communities under the same brand), templates ensure that all servers have a consistent basic structure and a standardized set of roles.
- Easier Maintenance: With a standard structure, it’s easier to manage permissions and provide support across multiple servers.
- Sharing Your Server Structure:
- You can share your server’s structure with other server administrators or friends who are interested in how you’ve organized your server, without giving them direct access to your live server.
- Backup and Recovery (for structure):
- While not a complete server backup (it doesn’t include messages or members), a template serves as a structural backup of your server. If your server were ever compromised or accidentally deleted, you could quickly rebuild the basic structure using the template.
- Experimentation and Testing:
- Want to completely reorganize your server or test new role structures? You can create a new blank server using your current template, make the changes there, and see how it looks before implementing them on your main server. This prevents disruption for your members.
Solutie
The process is straightforward and done directly from your server settings:
- Open Discord and Go to Your Server: Launch the Discord application (desktop or web) and click on the server you want to create a template for.
- Access Server Settings: Click on your server’s name in the upper-left corner of the app, then select “Server Settings” from the dropdown menu.
- Navigate to “Server Template”: In the left-hand menu of Server Settings, scroll down and click on “Server Template.”
- Fill in Template Details:
- Template Name: Give your template a name (e.g., “Gaming Server Template,” “General Community Server”).
- Template Description: Add a short description explaining the purpose or structure of the template.
- Generate the Template: Click the “Generate Template” button.
- Copy the Link: Discord will generate a unique link for your template. You can copy this link and share it with anyone you want to use it.
Note: If you make changes to your original server after generating a template, the template will not update automatically. You’ll need to go back to the “Server Template” section and click “Sync Template” to include the latest changes.
