In the channel you want SourceTrace to monitor, use the command /setup add to start watching for images.
To verify an image, simply react to the message with the same emoji as the bot. SourceTrace will then start searching for the image and send a detailed embed once the source is found.
What the verification embed means and how to read it.
A reverse image search engine directly matched this image. The named engine confirmed it exists online.
No direct match, but strong signals suggest this image originated online — e.g. it's a GIF, or hosted on a known platform.
Some signals point to the image being from the internet, but confidence is moderate. Manual verification recommended.
Mixed or weak signals. Could be original, could be sourced. Use the search engine buttons to investigate further.
