In this section, you can upload custom symbols (icons) for your workspace. This feature helps you structure information visually and make content easier to understand at a glance.

Custom symbols can be used, for example, to identify tickets, projects, or documents clearly—such as with icons for specific topics, priorities, or departments.

To create a custom symbol:

1. Open **Administration → Workspace Settings → Custom icons**.
2. Click **Add**.
3. Upload an image in PNG or SVG format.
4. Enter a unique **symbol name** (e.g. :lt_editor: or :team_sales:).
5. Click **Save** to make the symbol available in the workspace.

The new symbol is then available to all users in your workspace. It can be used in various areas, including

- Projects
- Tickets
- Documents
- Organization or employee profiles.

### Manage existing symbols

All existing symbols are shown in a list, including

- **Name** (e.g. :msword:),
- **Author**,
- **Date of last change**.

From the symbol list, you can **edit or delete** existing icons.

This gives you complete control over the visual appearance of your workspace at all times.
