Documentation-based practice example; check the controls in your installed Oxygen version.

What it does and when to use it

Place a vector icon that stays sharp at different sizes. This example focuses on one achievable outcome rather than listing every possible setting.

Before you start

Start with a test page and the data or assets described in the example. The values below are starting points, not universal design defaults.

Worked example: An icon supporting a clearly labelled link

Scenario: An icon supporting a clearly labelled link. The goal is a useful result on a real project, not a claim that this scenario was a completed client project.

  1. Choose a consistent icon from an available icon set.
  2. Place it beside visible text such as View the project and match its size to that label.
  3. Treat the icon as decorative when the text already communicates the action; check contrast and focus on the link itself.

Expected result

You should have an icon supporting a clearly labelled link. Verify the result on the frontend using the same content or object described in the steps. A correct builder preview alone does not establish that links, data or interactions work for visitors.

Troubleshooting

If an icon-only control has no accessible name, add one or restore visible text. A familiar shape is not a substitute for a clear action label.

Checks before publishing

An icon alone may be unclear. Pair it with visible text where possible and verify its contrast against the background.

  • Compare desktop and narrow-screen layouts using actual content.
  • Follow every destination and operate interactive controls with a keyboard where applicable.
  • Check an empty or unavailable-data state when the element depends on a provider.

Official reference and version notes

Official SVG Icon reference provides the current provider information. This is independent, AI-assisted documentation on Benjamin Olsen’s website; examples are clearly identified as practice recipes.

The native references were checked against the site’s Oxygen 6.2.0-beta.9 installation and public documentation. Individual recipes should still be validated in your project.
