# Changelog

Changes that affect developers using the admin panel API or the SentinelShare bot. Fields are only ever added to the API, never renamed or removed.

## 26 October 2026

- **Staff alerts.** The SentinelShare bot warns a staff channel when someone with an active ban joins your Discord, and when another community bans someone already in it. Set the channels on your community's page or with `/setup alerts` and `/setup notifications`. See [Staff alerts](/developers/discord-bot#3-staff-alerts-and-new-ban-posts).
- **Community pages.** Every community has a page with its staff, activity, bans filed and track record, plus its Discord settings.
- **Appeal tracking.** Appellants get a private link to follow their appeal, with a message from the community that decides it. Appeals are decided by the community that filed the ban, or by network staff.
- **Discord scans and Reports.** `/bans scan` checks every member of a Discord for SentinelShare bans, 1,000 at a time. It replies with how many have bans and a link to the report, which is saved under **Reports** on the website with every matched member, their player profile, ban types and the communities that filed them. See [Scan your Discord](/developers/discord-bot#4-scan-your-discord-for-banned-members).
- **Developer docs.** These pages, each downloadable as Markdown, plus [llms.txt](/llms.txt) and the [whole set as one file](/llms-full.txt) for AI assistants.
- **SentinelShare bot.** `/bans check`, `/bans add`, `/bans remove`, `/bans verify`, `/staff add`, `/staff remove`, `/staff list`, `/whoami` and `/setup notifications`. Commands run as the staff member who typed them. See [Add the SentinelShare bot](/developers/discord-bot).
- **Lifting bans.** Staff who can file bans can now lift bans filed by anyone in their own community, on the website, in Discord and through the API.
- **Admin panel API launched.** Community API keys, `GET /integration/bans` (change feed) and `GET /integration/lookup`. See [Admin panel API](/developers/admin-panel-api).
- **One profile per player.** Arma UIDs, Discord IDs, IP addresses and names now live on a single player profile, so a ban record's `player` lists every known identifier, and profiles that may be the same person appear in `other_matches`.
