How to add custom icons to the icon library

Using the icon library

The shared Icon Library makes it easy to maintain a consistent look and feel across your platform.

It includes more than 1,000 built-in icons, and you can upload your own custom icons for everyone in your organisation to use.

Icons from the library can be selected when configuring:

• Review templates
• Article categories
• News categories
• Dashboard tiles

Adding a custom icon

You can't upload a custom icon while creating a review template, article category, news category, or dashboard tile. Instead, add the icon to the Icon Library first. Once it's been added, it will be available to select anywhere an icon can be chosen.

To add a custom icon:

1. Log in to the web platform.
2. Go to Admin.
3. Select Options > Icon Library.
4. Select Add Custom Icon.

Complete the following fields:

Title

Enter a name for the icon. If you leave this blank, the uploaded file name will be used.

Keywords

Add keywords to make the icon easier to find when searching the library.

Icon

Upload a PNG image.

• The recommended size is 256 × 256 pixels.
• There's no benefit to uploading an image larger than 512 × 512 pixels.

Allow icon colour

Enable this if you're uploading a monochrome (single-colour) PNG. The platform will apply the selected icon colour automatically.

Leave this disabled for full-colour icons to preserve their original colours.

Active

Turn this off if you want to hide the icon from the icon picker without deleting it.

Saving your icon

When you've finished, select Update at the top of the page.

Your icon will then be available to everyone with access to the Icon Library and can be selected from the icon picker when configuring review templates, article categories, news categories, and dashboard tiles.
