# Icons

::: tip About Icon Management

- The icons in the project are mainly provided by the `@vben/icons` package. It is recommended to manage them within this package for unified management and maintenance.
- If you are using `Vscode`, it is recommended to install the [Iconify IntelliSense](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=antfu.iconify) plugin, which makes it easy to find and use icons.
