+## Description
+I want to customize the icons used for expanding and collapsing items in the [TreeView for Blazor]({%slug treeview-overview%}). 
+
+This knowledge base article answers the following questions:
+- How can I use custom icons for the TreeView expand and collapse functionality?
+- Is it possible to change the default expand and collapse icons in the TreeView for Blazor?
+
+## Solution
+
+You can change the expand/collapse icons in the TreeView by overriding the built-in icons with other icons using [custom CSS rules]({%slug themes-override%}). In addition, you can use the `Class` parameter of the TreeView to add a custom CSS Class and modify a specific instance of the TreeView, instead of all instances on the page.

+````CSHTML
+@* In Telerik.UI.for.Blazor version 4.3.0 and later, the components use SVG icons by default. Use the following CSS for versions 4.3.0 and later. *@
+@* Render the desired SVG icon and inspect it with your dev tools to get its path. *@
+<style>
+    .custom-icons .k-treeview-toggle .k-svg-icon.k-svg-i-caret-alt-down svg path {
+        d: path("m382.059 158.059-126.06 126.06-126.061-126.06L96 192l159.999 160L416 192z");
+    }
+
+    .custom-icons .k-treeview-toggle .k-svg-icon.k-svg-i-caret-alt-right svg path {
+        d: path("m158.059 129.941 126.06 126.06-126.06 126.061L192 416l160-159.999L192 96z");
+</style>
+
+@* In Telerik.UI.for.Blazor version below 4.3.0, the components use Font icons by default. Use this CSS for versions prior to 4.3.0. *@
+@* Copy the unicode of your desired icon from the Progress Design System - https://www.telerik.com/design-system/docs/foundation/iconography/icon-list/ *@
