  7. Click on the COPY IMAGE URL key in the lower right.
  8. Before you paste this URL anywhere, remove the resize policy after the file extension. For example, "https://snagfilms-a.akamaihd.net/9eb962cf-e8b3-49a5-a598-8c0422023f35/images/94/71/0bc37a42411e937eebe95a54f6fb/1587589478542_32x9images-tab.png?impolicy=resize&w=4752&h=1337" should be appended to "https://snagfilms-a.akamaihd.net/9eb962cf-e8b3-49a5-a598-8c0422023f35/images/94/71/0bc37a42411e937eebe95a54f6fb/1587589478542_32x9images-tab.png"

  9. Next, go to the Template Builder > Global Settings navigation module.

  10. Choose the navigation menu that you wish to create new / edit. These include HEADER NAVIGATION and OTHER NAVIGATION.

  11. Left-click on the navigation section you wish to modify. Choose the navigation piece you wish to add a custom icon to. Inside the Icon drop-down, x-out any existing icon or placeholder, to clear the field:

    Paste in the complete absolute URL of your image icon, and hit the return key:

  12. Once you are finished with your changes to the Template Builder, click PUBLISH ALL in the upper-right to commit your changes to be published to web / apps / OTT. However, as changing icons is not a critical issue on the site/apps, these changes will be implemented in the apps in the next live release.
