Thanks, @domhnallohanlon. But how can I use an icon on a button? An arrow to go back for example. ---

At the moment the way to do this would be by uploading an image to the button. ---

For simple symbols (like a back arrow) you could also always just use Unicode characters like this one: > **[BLACK LEFT-POINTING TRIANGLE (U+25C0)](https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/25c0/index.htm)** > > Get the complete details on Unicode character U+25C0 on FileFormat.Info ---
