Until now every Quark log looked the same on every server: an embed, with the fields Quark chose. Log Formats is a new page in the dashboard sidebar where you decide how your logs look.
Four formats from Quark
| Format | What it looks like |
|---|
| Standard | Quark's own embed, with a colour for each kind of log. Every server starts on this |
| Standard (no embed) | The same information as a plain message |
| Compact | A small embed with one or two lines for each log, for busy channels |
| Compact (no embed) | One or two lines of plain text, and no buttons |
All four are free on every server. Each one is drawn on a real log before you choose it. Use this format applies at once, with Undo, and See every log shows a format on every kind of log Quark sends.
Build your own
Create a format starts from one of Quark's. Pick a log and change what you like about it; a log you leave alone keeps looking the way it does now.
- Show extra information. Add something the log knows but leaves out: the message ID, how old an account is, the exact time.
- Hide or spoiler something. Leave a field out, or put the message text behind a spoiler.
- Write your own text. Change the title or the footer, or add up to four lines of your own, with
{{target}}, {{executor}}, {{channel}} and {{reason}} filled in from the log.
- Change the buttons. Choose which buttons a log has and their order, and add link buttons: Jump to message, or a link to your own tools with the member's ID in it.
- Change the colour or layout. Any colour, as an embed, plain text or compact.
The builder shows what Quark posts now beside what your format posts, and lists each change as a sentence you can edit or remove. All logs at once is for the few things you want everywhere. Nothing is saved until you press Save format.
Advanced, with Quark Pro
Write a log as a template, with tokens, filters and conditions:
{{#if reason}}{{reason}}{{else}}No reason given{{/if}}
Advanced starts from what the log looks like now, and Checks says what is wrong before you save. If a template has a mistake, or what it makes is too big for Discord, Quark posts that log as Standard instead, so no log is ever lost to a format.
Share a format with a link
Share gives a format a link, like quark.bot/f/staff-room-7kq2m9x4. The link carries how the format changes logs and nothing from your server: no names, channels, roles, members or logs.
Add from a link shows what a format looks like, and where any link buttons in it lead, before you add it. You get your own copy, and your logs do not switch over until you choose it.
What each plan gets
| Free | Pro Lite | Quark Pro |
|---|
| Quark's four formats | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Build, share and add formats, and see them on every log | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Post logs in a format you made | No | Yes | Yes |
| Logs a format can change one by one | None | 10 | All |

Nothing is deleted when a plan ends. Changes the plan does not run are parked, and the page says which.
Also new
- Individual Log Config can set Compact or Compact (no embed) for a single log.
- Creating, editing, sharing and choosing a format is recorded as a Logging Options Updated log in your Quark Events channel.
- Save is switched off while there is nothing to save, in the format builder, the rule builder in Automations and Dashboard Access.
More in the guide to log formats, and on the Log Formats page.
Fixed
- Turning a category off and on again was listed under the bell as the channel being "disabled" and then "unset". It now reads "turned off logging for the Voice category" and "turned logging back on for the Voice category".
- On a server with both bots, the Log Viewer opened on whichever bot had logged most recently. It now opens on the bot you were looking at in the dashboard.
- The Log Viewer no longer shows a full-screen "Connecting..." screen each time it is opened.
- Requests in progress are no longer cut off when the website restarts for an update.
- Dashboard pages all start the same distance under the header, and loading placeholders sit where the page lands.
