Icon Library in Optimizely CMS

Icons are graphical representations of different elements on a website. They make the webpages visually appealing and like any other image, have a stronger connection and retention to the end user’s memory than plain text. When used in moderation and the right way, they can be self-explanatory and reduce the need for text content in a lot of use cases.

Icon Library is basically a curated list/dictionary of icons that ties an icon to a meaningful name. This library can then be used to pick icons for the different elements of the website. A good use case would be websites that use icons heavily and need to give CMS Editors control to pick icons with content within CMS, in a way that's well in line with the site's theme and design as well as maintains consistency in terms of meaning and usage. It also allows to have dedicated user roles that control the creation and modification of the actual Icon Library, so they can ensure the icons added are per design and theme and that other user roles can't mess the list up. And by providing a select list of the icon library on content types, instead of a ContentReference property where any media can be added, it can be ensured that no icons outside of this curated list are added to content.

Please see my detailed post here on how to setup the Icon Library and then use it in CMS.
