General Commands
Archivist’s general commands help users learn about the bot, invite it to a server, check that it is online, and find support links. These commands are useful for both new users and server admins who want to share the bot with others.
About the general commands
Section titled “About the general commands”The general command category includes the commands that help users understand and use Archivist without needing to look elsewhere. These commands are simple, quick, and designed for everyday Discord use.

Use /about to learn more about Archivist itself. This command shows:
- the bot version

Use /help to view a list of commands and get a quick overview of what
Archivist can do. The help command groups commands by category so it is easier
