Icons

The Icons tab is a searchable catalogue of single-colour, line-art icons. Because they are drawn in one colour, every icon takes on your theme's colour automatically, so a whole diagram stays visually consistent.

Browsing by category

The catalogue is organised into categories so you can browse when you are not sure what you want: Animated, Tech, People, Security, Files, Charts, Arrows, Furniture, and UI. The tab opens on a grid of category tiles, each showing one of the icons inside it. Click a category to see every icon it holds, and use the breadcrumb at the top to come back.

Searching and placing

When you know what you need, search by name (for example "server", "heart", or "calendar") and the catalogue filters to matching icons as you type. Search always looks across every category, so you never have to guess which one an icon lives in. Click one to place it on the canvas, then resize and position it like any other element. Its colour follows your theme, so changing the theme recolours every placed icon at once.

Type while an icon is selected to give it a caption. The glyph always keeps to the side opposite the text, move the caption to the top and the art drops below it, align it left and the art shifts right, so the two never overlap however you arrange them.

Looking for emoji?

Colour emoji have their own palette category: see Stickers. They used to sit here as an Emoji category, and moved out so this tab is purely line art that follows your theme. They place exactly the same way, click to add, or drag one onto a shape to sit beside its label.

Line-art icons versus brand marks

These icons are deliberately single-colour and abstract. If you need full-colour brand marks, the official logos for cloud providers and infrastructure, look in the Technology tab instead, which keeps AWS, Azure, and similar icons in their official colours rather than your theme colour.
