# Bot icons

> Staff overrides for the icons Civic uses in its Discord messages.

**Bot icons** lets you change the glyphs Civic uses in its panels — the small symbols beside balances, sections and buttons.

> [!NOTE]
>
> This page lives on the **staff dashboard**, at **Staff dashboard → Bot icons**. It is a global setting, not per server. You need the **Bot icons** staff permission; Civic operators always have it.

> [!NOTE]

> **Image needed — `dashboard-bot-icons.png`**
> Show the Bot icons page with the slot grid and at least one custom emoji entered.

## What you can change

Icons are grouped into slots covering status, documents, add and remove, navigation, economy, members, permissions, locks, notifications and rewards.

Each slot accepts one of:

| Value | Example |
| - | - |
| A single Unicode character | `◈` |
| A custom emoji | `<:coin:123456789012345678>` |
| An animated custom emoji | `<a:spark:123456789012345678>` |
| A bare emoji ID | `123456789012345678` |

Leave a slot blank to restore Civic's default icon.

## Saving

* Only the slots you change are affected.
* If someone else edited the icons since you opened the page, your save is rejected rather than overwriting their change. Reload and try again.
* Icons apply to **newly sent** messages. Civic does not edit old messages to update their icons.

> [!NOTE]
>
> This feature exists so staff can add a little character to Civic's panels. If you do not have the Bot icons permission, you will not see the entry — that is expected.
