• Click Upload + Publish [Icon count] Icons

Freshly imported icons

After your icons upload you should be back on your Kits Custom Icons tab, and you'll see your imported icons. Click on any icon to see the details and how to use it in your project.

Update Your Project's Icons

Now that you've imported your icons you'll need to update your project's icon references to use the new syntax. A Font Awesome Kit uses fa-kit and fa-ICON-NAME.
