`N.B.: this is an important security feature of Discord that is now mandatory to configure and imposes restructions on some of the Bot's functionality unless appropriately configured. Keep an eye on this.`

2. [Discord Py Slash Command Documentation](https://discord-py-slash-command.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html)
|
|
|
|
> 1. [Discord Py Slash Command Authentication](https://discord-py-slash-command.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html)
|
|
`N.B.: this is an important security feature in Discord's API, and commands will not be configured unless the applications.commands scope is configured correctly.`
|
|
> 2. [How to add Slash Commands, including sub-commands](https://discord-py-slash-command.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#:~:text=If%20your%20slash%20commands%20don,commands%20scope%20in%20that%20guild.)
|
|

|
|
> 4. [Discord Py Slach Commands library Components Documentation](https://discord-py-slash-command.readthedocs.io/en/latest/components.html)
|
|
|
|
`N.B.: Components are what Discord calls buttons and drop down menus.
|
|
There are multiple libraries that offer Components integration, but the Discord Py Slash Command is adequate in doing so, and has the clearest documentation so far.
|
|
It's best to stick to one library to keep it consistent.
|
|
Avoid the Discord_components library as it causes conflicts with Discord Py Slash Commands.`
