⬅️ Customizable Sidebar Icons
Adrian Rodriguez
Currently, the side icons representing Threads, Documents, Events and external links look pretty generic and could look more professional.
This could be solved if we had the opportunity to manually change the icons to further customize our community.
For example (at least in Spanish) it doesn't make sense that Threads are represented by a feather.
My external link takes members to my courses, hosted on another platform. It would be more convenient to change that 🔗 icon to another that does reflect this better, like 💻.
Could this be possible? 🙏🏼

Rename the "Courses" tab and switch icons in the community sidebar

The term course is overly used and has a bad name to it, I would like to name this section to something else while teaching my community on the platform. While also being able to customize the icons in/on the community sidebar with my own or icons that I can already choose from that are build in within the platform. Maybe Heartbeat can integrate with Freepik.com where icons will be available to choose for community creators and admins.

Would love to just have icons to save screen space. Or even a dropdown menu or bar (like on mobile).
Erin Standage
We already are able to rename courses. Mine is renamed to Activities as it better fits my membership.
Hope
I renamed mine to “Learn”

Custom icon for main apps
Tri Ryuzaki
Please allow us to use custom icon (png, svg, gif) for main apps (thread, course, doc, event, etc...). Current icons are boring and not match our brand.

I'd like this feature. But also, I'd like the font size to adapt to fit under (especially on mobile). I have changed words like Thread to Community and they don't fit nicely.

Fifi Mason: Same! "Resources" as a replacement for "Docs" also does not fit.

I would add that the grey for unselected tabs seems more like a “dead link” than a deemphasized status.
