Customize the Favicon (Browser icon)
A favicon is a small icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and other places. Adding a custom favicon helps reinforce your brand.

If your favicon doesn’t appear, try clearing your browser cache.

Ensure the copied URL is correct.

Verify the size and filetype of the favicon. The image must be square.

Check the Security Category of the favicon image in the Image Library, then compare it to the Security Category of the Page Wrapper.
