I am trying to replace the favicon on our site but I cannot do it through the Drupal 8 interface. I cannot find it in the folder structure. I tried uploading a new one but there was no change. Any idea on where it would be on the server? I thought it would be a simple "replace".

Looking at the Claro theme (as an example) under admin/appearance/settings/claro, I see this:

Favicon

Your shortcut icon, or favicon, is displayed in the address bar and bookmarks of most browsers.

[] Use the favicon supplied by the theme

Path to custom icon

Examples: favicon.ico (for a file in the public filesystem), public://favicon.ico, or core/themes/claro/favicon.ico.

Upload favicon image

If you don't have direct file access to the server, use this field to upload your shortcut icon.

I usually replace the favicon directly in my theme, but it looks like it's possible to upload it as well. Remember to drush cache:rebuild as well as try opening the page in another browser, since favicon can get cached.
