NO Replace for Icons or Elements

Why isn't there an option to "Replace" for Icons or Elements in Adobe Express like other images?  
I do Marketing & Social Media content at a company with a large Inventory of products. I regularly do Product Spotlight posts where I like to use the same Graphic Template to simplify & shorten my Graphic execution timing. I need to replace/change information each time that is product specific like Multiple Key Features that I relate an Icon graphic to for each, which is multiple Icon graphics.  Without the "Replace" feature, I have to take more time to get the new Icon in the exact place, timing on the timeline & re-designate animations. Not a huge deal in scheme of things but would be a definite time-saver. Please consider. Thanks

    Hi ​@Jennifer2947164623ir!

    Thank you for such a clear and specific use case - the detail about needing to preserve position, timing, and animations while swapping icons is really valuable feedback.

     

    You're right that Replace isn't currently available for icons and elements on desktop - it works for images and video, but not shapes or icons. 

     

    I couldn't find an existing UserVoice request that fully captures your use case, so it would be really worth submitting a new one here with those specifics: https://adobeexpress.uservoice.com/forums/951181-adobe-express - the product team actively monitors it and the more detail you include, the better!

    Thank you, Rose. I couldn’t remember how to get to that area to make the exact post you are suggesting. I have now.
