  • The Icon Link List component is built using a parent-child model where the parent has the heading of the Icon Link List and child(ren) are the list of icon links.
  • Applicable fields of Icon Link List parent item:
    • Title: Single link text field to add heading.
  • Applicable fields of Icon Link List child item:

    • SVG Icon: Image field to set the image to be displayed.
  • Icon Link List has one variant - default.
  • The component will fill the whole width of the parent, therefore it's best to be added under the Section Container component.
