About This Feature
Overview
Change Icon is used to replace an icon that has already been inserted in a presentation without deleting and inserting it again. It is useful when you want to adjust layout, unify visual style, or swap icons more quickly during slide editing.
Core capabilities include:
- Change the currently selected icon from the Graphics Tools tab.
- Replace the current icon from the right-click menu.
- Some online icon resources display membership labels.
Typical use cases include keeping icon styles consistent across slides, replacing an unsuitable icon, and updating visual elements without rebuilding the layout.

| Capability Summary | You can directly replace an inserted icon and choose a new one from local icons or online icons. Some online icon resources are membership-related. | Microsoft 365 lets users insert icons and then rotate, recolor, and resize them. | Google Docs lets users insert images and create drawings with shapes and diagrams, but it does not provide a dedicated icon replacement command. | Notion lets users add page icons with emojis, icons, or uploaded images. | Adobe Express lets users add shapes in Elements and adjust border style, fill, opacity, and related appearance settings. |

Advantage: WPS provides a direct in-place replacement flow for icons that are already on the slide, which is convenient during presentation layout edits.
Overall Conclusion
If you already have icons placed on a slide and want to swap them without disturbing the layout, WPS offers a more direct replacement path for that task. Other products provide icon, image, or shape features for their own editing scenarios, but their workflows and goals are not the same.
