# Change the Name and Icon for Admin Menu Links

The [PublishPress Capabilities](https://publishpress.com/links/capabilities) plugin allows you to change the name and icon for each link in the WordPress admin menu. You can do this via the "[Admin Menus](https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/admin-menus-screen/)" screen in [PublishPress Capabilities](https://publishpress.com/links/capabilities).

If you click on the pencil icon you will be able to change the name of the admin menu link. In the screenshot below, I'm changing "Dashboard" to "Your Dashboard".

If you click on the "Change Icon" you can also change the icon for this menu link.

Every time you make one of these changes, you can decide whether to do it for one user role, or all users on your site.

In this next screenshot, you can see that "Dashboard" is now called "Your Dashboard" and has a new icon.
