# Upload animated icon

The file goes up. Light: the arrow sinks to load, then launches up out of the tray; the tray recoils under the push, rebounds and settles, and the arrow overshoots and settles 2.2 units higher, where it stays. Strong: a deeper load, a harder launch that settles in two beats, and a bigger recoil that rebounds twice. The preview reset fades it back to the prepared pose.
