# Settings & Customization
### Overview of Settings
WordSeek settings are managed through the `/settings` command and are divided into two layers:
* **User Settings** โ apply only to you
* **Server Settings** โ apply to the entire server
Some options are available to everyone, while others require special permissions.
***
### Opening the Settings Menu
To open the settings interface:
```
/settings
```
By default, this opens **User Settings**.\
Users with **Manage Server** permission will also see a button to switch to **Server Settings**.
***
### User Settings (Personal)
User Settings affect **only your own experience** with WordSeek.
#### Hide Messages (User-Based)
These options control whether WordSeekโs responses to **your guesses** are visible to others in the channel.
You can toggle the visibility of:
* Incorrect Guess messages
* Correct Guess messages
* WordRush notifications
Each option can be turned on or off instantly using buttons.
***
### Server Settings (Manage-Server Only)
{% hint style="info" %}
Server Settings affect **all users** in the server and require **Manage Server** permission.
{% endhint %}
#### Switching to Server Settings
At the bottom of the User Settings menu, users with the **Manage Server** permission will see the button:
* **Switch to Server Settings**
Clicking this opens the server-wide configuration interface.
#### Available Server Settings:
Hide Messages
These options control whether WordSeekโs responses to **user guesses** are visible to others in the channel. If disabled, the messages will be **ephemeral**.
You can toggle the visibility of:
* Incorrect Guess messages
* Correct Guess messages
* WordRush notifications
{% hint style="warning" %}
Server settings **override user settings**.\
If a message type is hidden at the server level, users cannot make it visible.
{% endhint %}
Theme & Appearance
Server teams can control how WordSeek puzzles look.
These themes are available:
#### Theme
* Controls the visual style of WordSeek puzzles
* Selected from a dropdown menu
#### Dark Mode
* Toggles between light and dark puzzle layouts
{% hint style="warning" %}
Changes to Theme and Dark Mode only apply **after**:
* A new WordSeek is created, or
* A word is guessed in the current puzzle
{% endhint %}
Language Settings
WordSeek supports multiple languages and can be configured per server. The language applies to all bot messages in the server.
Supported languages:
| Language | Interface Fully Translated | Supported in Puzzle Words |

| ๐ฉ๐ฐ Danish | โ Yes | โ Yes |
| ๐ณ๐ฑ Dutch | โ No (80% translated) | โ Yes |

* **Interface Fully Translated** means all bot messages, buttons, menus, and system responses are available in that language.
* **Supported in Puzzle Words** indicates that WordSeek generates puzzles using words from that language.
* Languages that are not fully translated may still be selected, but some texts may appear in English.

Bot Manager Roles
{% hint style="info" %}
Assigning **Bot Managers** is recommended for **large or very active servers** to keep WordSeek games running smoothly and prevent interruptions.
{% endhint %}
**Default Behavior (No Bot Managers Set)**
* Any user can create a new WordSeek at any time.
* Creating a new WordSeek will **end the current one**, even if it is not finished.
* This behavior is intentional and works well for small or casual servers.
**Behavior After Assigning Bot Managers**
Once at least one **Bot Manager Role** is selected in Server Settings:
* Only **Bot Managers** and users with **Manage Server** permission can:
* End an unfinished WordSeek
* Create a new WordSeek while another one is still active
* Regular users can no longer interrupt an active game. When a WordSeek **is completed**, **everyone** can still start a new one โ no restrictions apply.
**Why This Is Useful**
* Keeps active games from being ended prematurely
* Provides clear responsibility for game flow
* Improves stability in busy servers with many participants
๐ก **Recommendation:**\
Use Bot Managers if your server has frequent activity or many simultaneous players.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://botworld.gitbook.io/wordseek/server-guides/settings-and-customization.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
