Review Elements icons implementation and guidance and update as needed #72

Open amyhupe opened 2 years ago

amyhupe commented 2 years ago

What

Review how we implement icons in Elements demos and within our products.

Decide on a preferred approach and update demos and guidance to make this clear.

Why

In Feb 2022 user research into component documentation, we heard users describing different approaches to icon implementation within components.

Some users were confused by the guidance on how to implement icons, and with the way the chevron icon was included in the Section heading component demo.

We should make sure we have a clear preferred approach to implementing icons to make our products more consistent.

Done when
