One announcement, many servers
Post once in your main server and have it appear in every partner or regional server automatically.
Sync
Premium featureSync messages, bans and roles across Discord servers
Sync keeps two places in step with each other continuously, instead of at the moment you took a snapshot. Mirror a channel into another server, share a ban list across a network, or keep role assignments matched between a main server and its backup. Premium only.
Three things you can sync
Every sync joins two places and takes a direction: into yours, out of yours, or both ways. Set it once and Xenon keeps applying changes as they happen, with no scheduled job to wait for.
- 01Messages. Everything posted in one channel is mirrored into the other, with the author name and avatar preserved.
- 02Bans. Ban someone on one server and they are banned on the other too, existing bans included.
- 03Role assignments. Give a member a role and the matching role is applied on the other server.

What people use sync for
A shared ban list
Communities that run several servers ban a bad actor once and have it applied across the whole network.
A warm standby server
Keep a second server matched to the first, so if the main one is lost you are not starting from a snapshot.
Staff role parity
Promote a moderator in one place and their role appears everywhere they need it, with no manual bookkeeping.
Public mirror of a private channel
Mirror a staff channel into a read only public one so members can follow along without joining the conversation.
Cross community feeds
Two allied servers can each mirror a channel into the other and share traffic without merging.

Is sync one way or two way?
Either. Every sync command takes a direction: "from" pulls into your channel or server, "to" pushes out of it, and "both" mirrors in both directions on one sync.
Do both servers need Premium?
No. Premium is linked to your Discord account, and you need to be an administrator on both servers to connect them.
Are old messages copied when I start a sync?
No, a message sync applies from the moment you start it, so use a backup if you need the history that came before. A ban sync is the exception: it carries the bans that already exist across as well, unless you turn that off when you create it.
Can I sync between servers I do not own?
You need administrator permission on both sides. That is deliberate, since a sync moves content between communities.
What happens if a synced message is edited or deleted?
Edits and deletions in the source are applied to the mirrored copy as well.
