Behavior and important distinctions
Commissioner/co-commissioner only. Issues a private EA setup link; changes nothing until the final archive confirmation. Archives the old franchise, keeps server settings and paid access, and starts gameplay balances/rewards fresh. Keep teams copies all assignments; Reopen team selection clears assignments and enables open claims. Read the franchise restart guide before confirming.
If it fails
- Read the complete response and verify the active league/team or selected record.
- Reopen the current view to see whether the action saved before retrying.
- Use the related workflow guide below for prerequisites, outcome and recovery. For missing commands, deployment and Discord registration must both be current.
