Chapter Update Embeds
When Archivist finds a chapter link in a Discord message, it can post a shorter
chapter update embed that shows less information than works embeds. Chapter
update embeds are different from Archivist’s other embeds which post
automatically. Before it posts this embed, Archivist asks if you want the
work embed or the chapter update embed. You pick the one you
want by clicking the button (Work or Chapter).
Use a chapter update embed when people in the server already know the work and are waiting for a new chapter.
Included information
Section titled “Included information”- Chapter name/link — link to the chapter; shows chapter number and title if available

- Read from start — link to the first chapter so readers can catch up

If they are long, chapter update embeds split into pages so you can see all the
content while the embed stays small. You can move through the pages using the
Previous and Next buttons.
The pages appear in a temporary message only you can see if you did not originally ask for the embed. This lets each person control their own copy of the embed.
The chapter update embed look can be changed by using the settings command. The redirect command lets you control where these embeds post.
