## <Icon icon="table-list" size={24} /> What an embed can have

* Title, link, description and colour
* Author name, icon and link
* Footer text, icon and timestamp
* Thumbnail and large image
* Fields, side by side or stacked

## <Icon icon="circle-info" size={24} /> Good to know

* **Pings** is off by default, so `@everyone` shows as text and notifies nobody.
* The preview is close to Discord, but not exact. Discord's font isn't available on the web.

**Permission:** Dashboard access (Manage Server)
