Thank you, the <em>non-recommended</em> solution worked fine.

As Ankit is saying, the best way would be through a custom theme, but Olaf replied once on the same topic and explained about another (not suggested) alternative, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/53360453">https://stackoverflow.com/a/53360453</a>:<br /><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/53360453"> </a><br />&#34;As an <em>extreme, non-recommended, quickfix</em> you might want to set the value in portal-ext.properties to <strong>theme.shortcut.icon=../../../myfavicon.ico</strong> and place a favicon with name <strong>myfavicon.ico</strong> in tomcat&#39;s <strong>webapps/ROOT/myfavicon.ico</strong>.<br /> But don&#39;t come crying later, when you accidentally overwrite it in an upgrade.&#34;

&gt; Ideally, you should not do this change in the default theme.<br />But how can I do it?<br /><br />&gt;It&#39;s better to have a custom theme and apply this change. <br />Can you link me some documentation?<br /><br />​​​​​​​Thanks

I don&#39;t have a custom theme, can I edit the standard one?

Hi Davide, sorry for the confusion, only site logo can be changed from Control Panel. Favicon Will be changed from custom theme: src/images/favicon.ico

I&#39;ve tryied from Control Panel but the logo in Chrome tab remains the same.<br /><br /><img src="/documents/portlet_file_entry/14/fa--tempRandomSuffix--606p0crp.png/6527ea62-a6e8-7aa2-a79b-8bfa82a239ad" />​​​​​​​<br /><br />I need to put my custom icon there.

Ciao Davide,<br />You have a way to change it on portal-level from the UI: left Product Menu &gt; Control Panel &gt; Configuration &gt; Instance Settings &gt; Miscellaneous &gt; Logo<br />Or from the theme: src/images/favicon.ico

I need to put a new favicon, in which folder should I put my custom favicon?
