 **`fontAwesomeKey`** | `string` | _Optional_ | If you have a font-awesome key, then you can use it here and make use of premium icons. It is a 10-digit alpha-numeric string from you're FA kit URL  (e.g. `13014ae648`)
 **`faviconApi`** | `enum` | _Optional_ | Only applicable if you are using favicons for item icons. Specifies which service to use to resolve favicons. Set to `local` to do this locally, without using an API. Services running locally will use this option always. Available options are: `local`, `faviconkit`, `iconhorse`, `google`, `clearbit`, `webmasterapi` and `allesedv`. Defaults to `faviconkit`. See [Icons](/docs/icons.md#favicons) for more info
 **`auth`** | `object` | _Optional_ | All settings relating to user authentication. See [`auth`](#appconfigauth-optional)
+**`defaultIcon`** | `string` | _Optional_ | An icon to be applied to any items, which don't already have an icon set. See [Icon Docs](/docs/icons.md#default-icon) for more info
 **`layout`** | `enum` | _Optional_ | Layout for homepage, either `horizontal`, `vertical` or `auto`. Defaults to `auto`. This specifies the layout and direction of how sections are positioned on the home screen. This can also be modified and overridden from the UI.
 **`iconSize`** | `enum` | _Optional_ | The size of link items / icons. Can be either `small`, `medium,` or `large`. Defaults to `medium`. This can also be set directly from the UI.
 **`colCount`** | `number` | _Optional_ | The number of columns of sections displayed on the homepage, using the default view. Should be in integer between `1` and `8`. Note that by default this is applied responsively, based on current screen size, and specifying a value here will override this behavior, which may not be desirable.
