 - **Powerful builder:** 20+ field types, multi-step pages, conditional logic, quiz scoring, calculated fields, and per-form scheduling with an optional public countdown.
 - **Real feedback loop:** every submission gets a live status page; applicants follow along without an account and can withdraw, export, or delete their data (GDPR). One active submission per person by default.
 - **Discord-native review:** new submissions post to a review channel with Accept / Reject buttons, status DMs, automatic role grants, and a full activity log, all in your server's language.
+  Review and log channels must be on your own server; the bot ignores channels on other servers.
 - **Make it yours:** accent color, logo, custom CSS with a live preview, form categories, a public form hub, and custom domains with automatic TLS.
 - **Team & workflow:** roles with per-form reviewer access, a Kanban board, bulk actions, custom statuses, automations, A/B tests, and CSV / XLSX / JSON / PDF exports.
 - **Integrations:** outgoing webhooks, Zapier / Make, and a REST API.
