How do I add alt text to images?
Last updated: April 5, 2025
Alt text (alternative text) can be added to any image in your knowledge base articles to improve accessibility and SEO. Here's how to add or edit alt text:
Insert or click on an existing image in the article editor
When the image is selected, an editing toolbar will appear
Look for the "Alt text" field in the toolbar
Enter descriptive text that explains the content or purpose of the image

Best Practice: Write clear, descriptive alt text that helps users understand what the image shows if they cannot see it. Avoid using phrases like "image of" or "picture of" since screen readers already announce that it's an image.
