Hi! I'm starting to use svg to small things in our project. It all started when I discovered [this](https://inductiveautomation.com/exchange/2461/overview). Just wondering how update friendly are those things. Not saying they break, but what about missalign or things like that. Thx! ---

IA doesn't control the SVG standard, so as long as the SVG works in a previous version it should continue to work in newer versions. If it doesn't I would consider that to be a bug, as IA's support of an SVG feature would have stopped working. However, that doesn't necissarily mean it is a bug in IA's software. How they align, is more of a CSS feature, and the same is true of the CSS standard. I have had no issues with SVG's that work, not working in newer versions. ---

To add to this, I would consider embedded SVGs as stable as you would embedded PNGs or even Label components. I have never considered them for an ignition upgrade
