3 commands under /news preset, sourced directly from NewsCog (src/cogs/news.py). A preset is a named, saved set of channels that pre-fills the target-channel picker — it’s a shortcut, not a lock; the selection can still be adjusted before confirming.
Permission is the check News Bot enforces when the command actually runs — see Installation & Permissions for how Announcement Manager resolves.
Opens the native channel picker; whatever you select is saved under name. Requires at least one channel. Preset names must be unique per server.Permission: Announcement ManagerExample: /news preset create name:"Product Updates"
Lists each saved preset and how many channels it holds.Permission: None — any member in the server can list presets
Asks for confirmation first. This permanently removes the preset — it cannot be undone. Announcements already targeting those channels are unaffected.Permission: Announcement ManagerExample: /news preset delete name:"Product Updates"
There’s also an All Configured News Channels shortcut inside the target-channel picker (in the builder, and in /news preset create) that pre-fills every channel across every saved preset, deduplicated — useful when you want the widest reach without picking presets one at a time.
