Converting a Server

Convert a Server

Start the conversion

On the server you want to convert, open Settings, scroll to Convert To a Department and click Convert now.

Check the details

The name and Discord server are filled in for you. Upload an icon, pick the parent server and click Continue.

Review what transfers

Read the summary, then confirm.

Buy a plan if needed

If the parent server has no free slot, you’ll be asked to buy and activate a plan first. See Plans & Billing.

Click Create Department

You land on the new department’s Home page.

What Transfers

Item	Details
Members	Everyone moves across. You’re added too if you weren’t a member.
Roles	Become ranks in the same order, with their names, colours, linked Discord roles and matching permissions. Each member gets the rank for their highest role.
Shifts and activity	Shifts and activity settings move across.
Actions	Move across.
Applications and documents	Move across, including folders.
Join code	Stays the same, so existing links keep working.
Settings	On-shift, on-break and LOA roles, shift log channel, LOA settings, audit log channel, nickname prefixes, Discord autokick and the wave end channel.

Members with no role are placed in the first rank on the list, so check the roster afterwards.

What Doesn’t Transfer

Item	Details
Punishment logs	These are a server feature and stay behind.
Pending join requests	Removed. People need to request again.
The old server	Deleted after conversion, along with its roles.
Subscriptions	Plus, Watchdog, Departments and Vision subscriptions are detached. Activate them on another server from Manage subscriptions.

Converting can’t be undone, and the parent server can’t be changed afterwards.
