## What’s the difference between the Report Panel and Report Tickets?

Both systems are used to collect user reports—but they serve different purposes and workflows:

| Feature             | Report Panel                                                                                                                                                                         | Report Tickets                                                                                                       |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **How it works**    | Users click a button in the [**Report Panel Channel**](/modules/reporting#report-panel-channel) and fill out a short form.                                                           | Users click a button in the [**Ticket Channel**](/modules/tickets#ticket-channel) and open a private ticket channel. |
| **User Experience** | Fast and form-based. Users submit a report via modal, no channel is created.                                                                                                         | Creates a dedicated private channel for follow-up, conversation, and proof collection.                               |
| **Use case**        | Best for quick reports that don’t need back-and-forth discussion, or the server does not have any public channels to use the [`/report`](/modules/reporting#report-command) command. | Best for in-depth cases that need moderation dialogue or ongoing investigation.                                      |
| **Config Needed**   | Report Panel Channel ([`/config reports`](/modules/reporting#configure-reports))                                                                                                     | Ticket Channel & Ticket Category ([`/config tickets`](/modules/tickets#configure-tickets))                           |
| **Proof Format**    | Link only                                                                                                                                                                            | Link or file upload inside the ticket                                                                                |
| **Transcript**      | No transcript                                                                                                                                                                        | Transcript sent to DMs at ticket close                                                                               |

## What’s the difference between the Report system and the Ticket system?

**Report System**: Used for quick reports via [/report](/modules/reporting#report-command), right-click apps, or the Report Panel. It supports up to 4 attachments and sends reports directly to a log channel.

**Ticket System**: Opens a private channel where reporters and moderators can communicate in detail. Useful for cases requiring follow-up discussion or additional evidence.

## Can users attach proof to reports?

Yes! Up to 4 proof files can be attached using the `/report` command. If using the right-click `Report User` app, you can paste a link as proof.

## What proof formats are accepted?

Proof must be in the form of image or video files. For the apps and panel, only valid links are accepted (e.g., links to images/videos hosted on Discord, Imgur, or other trusted services).

## Who can access submitted reports?

Only users with roles configured under `Moderator Roles` will be able to see reports, take action, and manage submitted cases. Ensure these roles are set via `/config reports` or `/config tickets`.

## Why aren’t my reports showing up?

Make sure:

1. You have set the [`Report Log Channel`](/modules/reporting#report-log-channel).
2. You’re using the correct report method.
3. Your bot has permission to send messages and embeds in that channel.

If the issue persists, check bot permissions or consult the [support server](https://reportbot.xyz/support).

## How do moderation buttons work?

When enabled, each report panel will include action buttons (Ban, Kick, Timeout, Warn, or None). These can be customized via `/config reports` > **Moderation Buttons**.

## Can Report Bot notify moderators when a report is filed?

Yes. [**Enable Mentions**](/modules/reporting#mentions) under `/config reports` to notify users with the **Moderator Role** when new reports are submitted.

## Will reporters get updates on their cases?

If [Case Updates](/modules/reporting#case-updates) is enabled (default ON), the user who submitted the report will be notified when action is taken.

## Can I delete or edit a case?

Yes. Use the /case edit command to change the case reason or remove the case entirely.

<Warning>
  You must have the [Moderator Role](/modules/reporting#moderator-roles) to edit a case.
</Warning>

## What’s the difference between lookup user and lookup case-id?

`/lookup user`: Shows all cases tied to a user.

`/lookup case-id`: Displays detailed info about a specific case by ID.

## What permissions are required to configure AutoMod?

Only Server Owners and Managers can configure AutoMod settings via `/automod` commands. These rules work in collaboration from Discord’s native AutoMod.

## Does Report Bot provide transcripts?

Yes. When a ticket is closed, the full transcript is automatically sent to the reporter.

## How do I invite Report Bot to my server?

Use the `/invite` command or visit our websites to find the invite and upvote links.

## How do I get a User ID on Discord?

To get a user's ID, you need to enable Developer Mode in your Discord settings. Here's how:

1. Go to User Settings (⚙️ icon at the bottom left).
2. Click on Advanced in the left sidebar.
3. Toggle on Developer Mode.
4. Right-click the user you want to get the ID for.
5. Click "Copy User ID".
