Saving Custom Icons
Select an Image: Choose the image you want to use as an icon from your Excel worksheet.
Open the Custom Icon Manager: Find it in the Ribbon.
Choose a Placeholder: Select a slot (e.g., "Custom Icon 01") to save your image.
Click ‘Create’: If the slot already has an icon, you’ll be asked whether you want to overwrite it.
Deleting Custom Icons
Open the Custom Icon Manager: Access it from the Ribbon.
Select a Placeholder: Choose the icon you want to delete.
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:
Click ‘Restore’ in the Custom Icon Manager.
Done: Icons will be restored from the backup folder (located in the same directory as the add-in).
