    Hi all,

    Thanks for the detailed feedback on this thread. Reopening it, because we're still actively working on the issue. A few updates:

    Relinking: the case where manually entered alt text was overwritten by generated alt text on relink was fixed in 21.4. If you're still seeing manual alt text get overwritten after relinking, reply here with a sample file and your InDesign version and we'll investigate directly.

    Remove all generated alt text: an option to remove all generated alt text from a document in a single action is on the way.

    We hear the wider feedback here too, and we're keeping this open while we work through it.

    Best regards,

    Sunny

    Thank you for the detailed feedback everyone. A few specifics worth clarifying:
    Alt text is generated when an image is placed or replaced - not when an existing document is opened. If alt text is appearing in a file you only opened without placing anything, that's a bug we'd want to investigate directly.

    Updates in 21.4:
    - Improved alt text quality across image types, including better handling of icons and graphics - this directly addresses the inaccurate descriptions reported.
    - Fixed an issue where cropped image alt text wasn't generating correctly
    - Enterprise admins can now enable or disable this feature from the admin console, built for regulated and approval-sensitive environments.

    We know that quality and trust in the output are what make this feature worth using. The 21.4 improvements are a step, and raising accuracy will remain a priority.
