How to manage custom icons?

Saving Custom Icons

1. Select an Image: Choose the image you want to use as an icon from your Excel worksheet.
2. Open the Custom Icon Manager: Find it in the Ribbon.
3. Choose a Placeholder: Select a slot (e.g., “Custom Icon 01”) to save your image.
4. Click ‘Create’: If the slot already has an icon, you’ll be asked whether you want to overwrite it.

Deleting Custom Icons

1. Open the Custom Icon Manager: Access it from the Ribbon.
2. Select a Placeholder: Choose the icon you want to delete.
3. Click ‘Delete’: Confirm to remove the icon permanently.

Restoring Custom Icons

When you update the add-in, your custom icons may stop working (they remain in the Ribbon but cannot be clicked). The restore feature brings them back.

Here’s how:

1. Click ‘Restore’ in the Custom Icon Manager.
2. Done: Icons will be restored from the backup folder (located in the same directory as the add-in).
