      II. Emojis

      Emojis are a great way to add a little personality to a message, or to react to someone else's message.

      Emojis can be found in two places on discussions:

      1. Within the message box at the bottom, to insert an emoji into the message

      2. Below another message, to react to the message using an emoji

        1. Click on an emoji that's already there if you have the same sentiment, or click the emoji icon to add your own

        2. If you added an emoji by mistake, click the emoji again to remove it

      3. Search for additional icons that are already there - such as a heart - to have various options (note that my previous selection - heart eyes - is now at the bottom as frequently used)
