Introduction to the layout of Discord and Cop A Pop

User Interface

This section walks you through how Cop A Pop is structured within Discord. While the layout looks slightly different on desktop and mobile, the functionality is the same. The rest of this guide is mobile-focused, but we’ve included a desktop view below for reference.

Toolbars

Left Sidebar: Displays all categories and channels within Cop A Pop.
Right Sidebar: Shows the member list for the selected channel and their online statuses.
Top Right Search: Search across Cop A Pop for messages, members, dates, or keywords.

🔄 Navigating on Mobile

When you log in, you’ll usually land in a default chat channel. Here's how to navigate:

Swipe Right: Opens the Channel Sidebar (categories + channels).
Tap the Channel Name (top of screen): Opens the Channel Menu where you can:
- Search within that channel
- Mute or customize notifications
- View pinned messages and members

Channel Sidebar (Swipe Right)

Cop A Pop is divided into 15 categories:

Basics, Funko Monitors, Hot Drop Monitors, Comics, Information, Community, Tools, Deals, Funko Single Sites, Collectibles, Sneakers, Cards, Mystery Boxes & Aftermarket Stores, Consoles / GPUs, and Collector Level Chats.

These categories help keep the server organized by topic. Access the full list by swiping right.

Cop A Pop Pro Tip: Tap a category name to collapse it after you’ve read all new messages. Once collapsed, channels with no unread messages will disappear—making it easier to spot fresh alerts. Tap again to expand.

Shortcut: Tap the server name ‘Cop A Pop Collective’ and select ‘Mark as Read’ to hide all read channels at once.

Tap the channel name at the top to access:

Member List (who’s in the channel)
Pinned Messages
Notification Settings (custom per-channel)

Notification Recommendations

Use ‘All Messages’ for important channels like:

#announcements
release channels

For channels you’re less interested in (like off-topic chat), you can choose ‘@mentions only’ or mute them altogether. We recommend not disabling all notifications across the board, especially for categories like Monitors or Tools.
