# All channels

{% hint style="warning" %}
The [DRAFT and LIVE ](https://docs.chatlayer.ai/publish/publishing-your-bot)versions of your bot use each their own channels. It means that if you add a channel to your DRAFT version for testing, you will need to add another channel to your LIVE version after you [published](https://docs.chatlayer.ai/publish/publishing-your-bot) your bot for the first time.
