Adding Roles
To begin submitting bugs, you first need to get access to the category you want to submit a bug for. These commands should be ran in the DMs of the DBug bot.
| Command | Command Action |

| !role add <platform> | Add a role |
| !role remove <platform> | Remove a role |
Submitting a Bug
Submitting a bug report might seem overwhelming with the length and detail the command requires, but once you break it down it is not so bad. The command consists of several flags that break it up into separate sections.
Note: Before submitting a bug report, make sure it is not listed as one of the unsupported report types or a duplicate of another bug report. You should be checking the #approval-queue, #android-bug-reports, #desktop-bug-reports, and #ios-bug-reports in Discord Testers as well as https://bugs.discord.com.
| !submit Flags | Flag Meaning |
| -t | Title |
| -r | Reproduction Steps |
| - |
Begins a new step in the reproduction steps. Note: The first step doesn't need a "-" in front of it. |
| -e | Expected Result |
| -a | Actual Result |
| -c | Client Settings (Discord build) |
| -s | System Settings (Phone: device + os version, PC: os version) |
- Here's an example of what this might look like altogether with the !submit command:
!submit -t This is a title -r Submitting from - The HC - Gets you - Banned -e This is what is supposed to happen -a This is what actually happens -c Canary 80085 (b935fcb) -s Windows 10 Pro x64 v20H2 (OS Build 19042.746)
On the other hand, finding it difficult to write it yourself or does it just take too long? Fear not - we have a tool to help you out.
