+= Customizing QuickAccessCard card icons on the {product} homepage
+
+As an administrator, you can customize the *QuickAccessCard* card icons on the {product} homepage to enhance its visual appeal and user experience. You can integrate custom branding or standard icons by leveraging a remote JSON configuration file.
+
+.Procedure
+
+. Add the JSON Data source. The *QuickAccessCard* card on the homepage supports loading data from a JSON file. This JSON file can be hosted in your GitHub repository or any accessible endpoint.
+
+. Configure the Proxy in your {product-very-short} `{my-app-config-file}` file.
++
+To allow the homepage to fetch data from the hosted JSON file, add the following proxy configuration to your {product-very-short} `{my-app-config-file}` file:
++
+[source,yaml]
+----
+proxy:
+  endpoints:
+  # customize your backstage instance
+  '/developer-hub':
+    target: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ # For example, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/
+    pathRewrite:
+      '^/api/proxy/developer-hub$': <path-to-your>.json # For example, /redhat-developer/rhdh/main/packages/app/public/homepage/data.json
+    changeOrigin: true
+    secure: true
+----
+
+The following table lists the supported icon types:
+
+[cols="25%,25%,50%", frame="all", options="header"]
+|===
+|Icon type
+|Example
+|Rendered as
+
+|*{product-custom-resource-type} system icon*
+|`"catalog"`

+
+|*SVG String*
+|`"<svg>...</svg>"`
+|Renders inline SVG
+
+|*Image URL*
+|`"https://example.com/icon.png"`

+|`"/homepage/icons/icon.png"`
+|Loads the icon from the app public folder (if present)
