How to Customize a Drawer's Appearance
The drawer emoji is more than a decoration — it’s a fast visual cue. When you’re glancing at a cabinet full of drawers, spotting the 🐕 for pets or the 💊 for medications is faster than reading each drawer’s name. Choose icons that match your life also makes the cabinet feel like yours.
To change a drawer’s emoji, hover over the drawer’s icon and click the Change Icon button (the small picture icon) that appears in the icon’s lower-right corner. The emoji picker opens.
The picker works the same as the emoji picker on your phone — search by keyword, browse by category, or scroll until something catches your eye. Once you tap or click an emoji, it’s applied to the drawer immediately. You can change it as often as you like.
A few ideas to get you started:
- 💊 Medications, 🩺 Medical records, 🧴 Skincare
- 💰 Banking, 🏠 Home & mortgage, 🚗 Auto
- 📚 School records, 🎓 Kids’ achievements, 🎨 Kids’ artwork
- 🐕 Dog, 🐈 Cat, 🦜 Birds
- ✈️ Travel, 🎟️ Tickets & receipts, 📸 Photos
The point isn’t to find the “right” emoji — it’s to find one you recognize instantly. That’s what makes filing faster and finding easier.
