AI Generated Alt Text overrode existing Alt Text

Newly launched 'Automatic AI Generated Alt Text' overrode all my existing custom alt text, which is incredibly frustrating. Although it's an interesting feature it it should NOT change existing alt text. And now I have to redo it because I don't see any history of what I had.

    Hi Paul,

    Thanks for sharing feedback and details around the issue faced.
    To better understand and investigate the behaviour, please help us with below details:

    - How was the document shared with the other user in your organisation (for example, via Cloud Documents, packaged files, or another workflow)?
    - Did you or your co‑user encounter any crash or document recovery operation during this workflow?
    - If possible, could you share the affected document or a similar, shareable sample that demonstrates the issue?

    Thanks,
    Naina

    I have also had this issue.

    I have Generative AI disabled on my Mac and had manually entered alt-text on 2 images. Another user in my organisation, who had not disabled it, made some minor text amends on my file and my atl-text was overwritten.

    I feel that any image that already has alt-text manually added should not be altered by this feature.

    Also it would be good that when the feature is turned on it could have an option to only affect images aded to the Articles Panel as that is the most common way of setting the tag order.

    Mac OS 15.7.4 InDesign 21.2
