Test and troubleshoot

Check caller permissions, bot permissions, channel overrides and role hierarchy separately. Test delete/ban/permission changes in a dedicated server rather than against production data.

Save, validate and publish. Perform one real test and read the first relevant log error. [Testing](/docs/flow-testing) · [Variables](/docs/flow-variables) · [Permissions](/docs/flow-permissions).
