The Category Icon widget is a component you can place at the top of a category list to visually depict the icon associated with the respective category. This widget, by default, takes the image you have uploaded as the icon for the Category in the Article Management > Categories section when creating or editing a category.

To add a Category Icon widget:
- Go to the Visual Editor by clicking Design on the Dashboard top panel or by navigating from Dashboard > Channels > Design.
