Open the dashboard and pick your server. Sign in with Discord if you haven’t.
Find Giveaways in the module list (press / to filter it, or ⌘K and type its name) and turn it on.
Go through the settings below. Simple mode shows the essentials; switch to Advanced for the rest.
Try it in Discord: /giveaway. Staff can restrict or turn off each command in Commands.

Tips

Pick a staff panel channel in the settings: Kovu posts a Start a giveaway button there. Giveaway editors, managers and the owner press it and fill in a short form instead of typing /giveaway start; anyone else is told they can’t.
View entrants on a giveaway shows who entered. Remove someone there, and if they won, Kovu can draw a replacement while the other winners stay. Draw replacement winners adds winners; Reroll winners replaces them all.
