Icons & emoji

Add an icon or emoji to any document (or collection) to make them easier to find in the sidebar and lists.

Choosing an icon

In a document, simply hover over or focus in the title to see the “smiley” button to the left where you can click and choose either an icon or emoji to represent the document. This control is in the same place on collections but is always visible.

If an emoji is chosen for the document it will also be displayed as the favicon in the browser tab instead of the Outline logo, making it easier to find documents when you have many tabs open.
