# Configure the icon for a branch template

Items created for a branch template display the icon associated with their data templates. You can configure the icon for a branch template to control the icon that appears for that branch template in the insert options.

To configure the icon for a branch template:

1. In the Template Manager or the Content Editor, select the branch template.
2. On the **Configure** tab, in the **Appearance** group, click **Icon**.
3. In the icon selection window, select an icon.

By default, when you insert an item using a branch template, those items inherit access rights from the parent.

> [!note]
> To configure access rights for items inserted using a branch template, configure access rights on the items within the branch template definition item. Sitecore copies these access rights to items inserted using the branch template.
