Insert Icon in Sharepoint webpart
You know how you can insert images as web parts in sharepoint? It would be amazing if Sharepoint borrows Powerpoint's amazing icon library.
Yes. You can add an icon as an image - you just have to get the icon in an image format! For the icons that are available to use with Quick Links, start with this amazing site that allows you to find and export any of the fluid icons: https://www.flicon.io/ Use the ability to export the icon in any color you want so that it matches the theme of your site. Then add the icon as an image in the image web part. You can do the same thing with the icons in PPT by adding one to a PowerPint page and saving it as a picture. It's multiple steps, but it can be done!
Thank you, that is very useful. A related question, I recently learned how to insert icons into the left Nav using the Windows Key + ";". However, there are only a limited set of icons there and they don't fit with our visual standards. Is there a way to use custom icons in the left nav?
- You can use any emoji character - selecting from either Windows key + . or at emojipedia.com. You can also use characters like arrows by selecting other options from the Windows key + . As far as I know, you cannot use custom icons.
