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. With neither, the link renders bare — the label alone, centred, no edge emoji.
  • The colour variants offered in the Color dropdown.

The three presets

Available presets

PresetDefault edge emojiColour variants
ios themeNone — unlisted platforms render bare17
GlossyNone — unlisted platforms render bare17
diamondsYes — every unlisted platform still gets an edge emoji14 (materials)

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.

diamonds' colours are 14 materials (Silver, Diamond, Bronze, Ruby, Emerald and 9 others); ios theme and Glossy use the standard 17 colours. Every Color dropdown also offers Main first — the preset's own default look.

Six links per nav. The cap applies only to the links in the message: every link the scan found is kept, so an edit can reopen all of them, not only the six chosen (below).

The custom-emoji ceiling

A nav can carry at most 100 custom emoji. Over that, the builder removes divider rows from the bottom up until it fits or every divider is gone. You see this in the live preview as fewer divider rows.

Links never drop

Only divider rows are removed. A nav keeps its banner and every one of its links no matter how far over the cap it is.

Saving and sending

Submitting Step 5 saves the nav. It 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 and click its response cell — it reads “Click to edit hyperlink navigation.”
  3. The builder opens on Step 4 (Preset), pre-loaded with the saved preset, colour, logo choice 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.

The trigger can be changed while editing. Deleting a nav uses the same delete control and confirmation as any other command.
