Configuring File Extension Icons

File extensions are hidden on the protected documents interface (see image below) and icons are used to indicate different file types. Example SomeFile.docx will be displayed as SomeFile with a word document icon

  • Every effort has been made to ensure the common file extensions (doc, docx, xls, xlsx etc) are supported.
  • At times, new file extensions appear in the workplace or you may want to customise the icons used
