Through the UI you don’t need to edit the `about.json` file, just do this:

> [@Replace Discourse's default SVG icons with custom icons in a theme](https://meta.discourse.org/t/replace-discourses-default-svg-icons-with-custom-icons-in-a-theme/115736/1):
>
> If you are uploading the SVG sprite through the Discourse UI, make sure you use “icons-sprite” as the SCSS var name for the upload.
