But for the Delete/Rename/Copy we need to change the icon for sure since right now we’re using a “settings” type of icon which is quite misleading. Ideas: - http://fontawesome.io/icon/clone/ - http://fontawesome.io/icon/files-o/ - http://fontawesome.io/icon/file-o/ - http://fontawesome.io/icon/clipboard/ The Administer page should probably be moved elsewhere.
