 Description   

Had feedback from a customer on the Managing assets page.

 

We have a section describing "Setting alt attributes" but ambiguity about how this attribute is populated. Customer expected there was an "alt text" field in the DAM.

It should be explained that alt text attribute is populated by the developer and can be sourced from any field on the asset, such as "Caption" or "Description".

Alt text of assets can be added/modified in Pages, Tours, Stories, and Contacts apps after the asset has already been uploaded and used in the app - this way alt text can be adapted to the context in which the asset is being used.
