Alt Tags on Images in All Content Categories

I would like to see alt tag fields added for images in all content categories, including News (I did vote on the idea specifically for that area), lists, text, etc. This would be helpful in our SEO efforts.

    Hi Bethany, I think it's a little non-intuitive and I have a request in to dev to find out why a dedicated alt text field wasn't used instead of piggybacking on the title/caption fields. But essentially my understanding is that the alt text displayed comes from what's entered there. Let me know if that doesn't do it for you. Here is a link to best practices in help that talks a little about accessibility features including alt text:

    Hello: this idea now shows as Implemented but I'm not seeing the change?

    Thanks,
    Bethany
