### When a message is deleted will it disappear from the exported file?
Text messages are not removed from the exported file, but media such as images and user avatars are. You can avoid this by [saving the HTML file for offline viewing](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/wiki/Storing-HTML-locally).
### Will the messages disappear from the exported file if I delete a message, delete my account or block a person?
Text messages will not be removed from the exported file, but if media, such as images and user avatars, is changed or deleted, it will no longer show up. You can avoid this by [saving the HTML file for offline viewing](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/wiki/Storing-HTML-locally).

### My token is disappearing too quickly, I can't copy it!
**1.** Open the developer tools by pressing **Ctrl+Shift+I** (⌘⌥I on a Mac) on Discord<br/>
**2.** Go to the **Network** tab<br/>
**3.** Search for `messages?limit=50` and click on it<br/>
**4.** Make sure the Headers tab is selected<br/>
**5.** Look for the `authorization` code in the Response Headers section<br/>
Too complicated? [This image might help you](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/21324788/44003408-13eb2088-9e07-11e8-9c3c-016d9876bbea.png).<br/><br/>
