In a flow
“When a button is clicked, lock down the server.”
Joins are spiking → Lock down the server → alert staff; /unlock → End lockdown.
What it does
Stop @everyone talking in many channels at once, and optionally raise verification and pause invites. End lockdown puts every channel back exactly as it was. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 1 value later steps can use. Find it under Protection in the palette.
When to use it
A raid is happening, or Joins are spiking says so: stop @everyone talking everywhere at once, and End lockdown puts every channel back exactly as it was.
When not to
For one channel, Lock channel is enough. Don't lock by hand while it's locked down: End lockdown restores what it saved.
