# Getting Message Data

## Getting data from a sent message

The `MessageLogs` setting allows viewing information about a previously sent message.

The `Identification` setting does not change the display name shown on top of the embed

The User ID found at the footer of the embed can be used for moderation purposes instead of the tag. Valid User IDs will never fail to target the correct user.
