/unlock brings things back to normal in an instant. One command is all it takes to restore the conversation and let your community pick up where things left off.
Description
The/unlock command restores the Send Messages permission for the @everyone role in a previously locked channel, allowing regular members to post again. It is the counterpart to /lock and reverses the permission override applied at lock time. The unlock action and any provided reason are logged in Burger Bot’s moderation records.
Usage

#channel mention. Defaults to the channel where the command is run if not specified.A brief explanation for why the channel is being unlocked. Saved to Burger Bot’s moderation log. It’s good practice to also post a message in the channel letting members know it’s been reopened.

Example Usage

/unlock on a channel that is not currently locked will result in no visible change to permissions. If a channel seems locked but /unlock doesn’t fix it, check whether the permission override was applied manually in Discord’s channel settings rather than through Burger Bot.
