Each action button can be fully customized to appear and behave the way you want. Current options allow you to:
- Change the action button's name
- Display a selected emoji / icon
- Display the time as a Date / Time or Time Ago
- Display the number of times the button has been clicked
- Choose if you want to be prompted to add Click Notes each time you click the button
To edit an action button:
- Click the menu icon in the bottom right of any action button and select Edit. The Edit Action Button task pane will open.
-
Change the button's Name: Short button names work best. Longer names will appear in a smaller font to fit the title area of the action button.
-
Select Emoji: Most popular emoji are available. You can enter a word in the Search box to quickly find an emoji, or navigate using the categories at the top to scroll through all available emoji. It is not necessary for a button to have an emoji, but it can make it easier to quickly identify a button when you need to click one. Note that some systems (such as Windows 11) likes to override many of the emoji icons with its own style of emoji. We are currently working on a fix for this.
