 With Velo, you can customize breadcrumbs items by changing their labels, links, and icons. 

 You can use Velo to add breadcrumbs 
 to dynamic pages, which isn't supported in the Wix Editor. 
 
 Breadcrumbs elements consist of sets of labels, icons, and links. When the site visitor clicks
 a label or an icon, they navigate to that link. 

 Icons are vector image files 
 from the Media Manager, an external SVG image from any web location, or a literal SVG XML string.

 Breadcrumbs item links are optional. It is unnecessary, for example, to add a link for the item that represents the 
 current page because there is no reason to navigate to it. 

 You can shorten the breadcrumbs trail for display purposes by using the [`itemsBeforeEllipsis`](#itemsBeforeEllipsis) and [`itemsAfterEllipsis`](#itemsAfterEllipsis) 
 properties and the [`showEllipsis()`](#showEllipsis) and [`hideEllipsis()`](#hideEllipsis) functions to display an ellipsis instead of the middle items in the trail.
