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

I agree with everyone else's comments about how poorly this was implemented.
Additionally, i think the text about "AI Generated" is potentially misleading. I just had two people contact me today about their PDF exports who were confused.
when it says "AI Generated Content" on the line after the description, it's not clear that this text applies to the description instead of the image itself. And it's on top of images that are 100% *NOT* AI Generated. if you're going to use the phrase "AI Generated," you need to be very descriptive of what content that is (in this case, the description).

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we worked to resolve this issue.

I'm using INDD version 21.4. this is happening with multiple people (not everyone) in my company right now (all in the same up-to-date version).
If i try to select multiple objects by either marquis select or shift-click, once i have the objects we want to move, if i click and drag on one of the selected object that has an image in a box and drag, it moves just the box with the image inside it. but if i click on a text box or a simple color box and drag, it drags the entire selection.
in the attached image, A is an image in a graphic box, and the two objects labeled "B" are a text box and a color block. if i select all of them and click on "A" to drag, it only moves the image box A. if i click either the text or the color block labeled "B", it moves all the objects selected (as you would expect it to do either way).

it appears that the public release in the US has happened this morning. 21.2 has been released. this is the version that supposedly fixes the undo/disappearing text issues.

beuhler? beuhler? any news on updating this? we're at 6+ weeks since this started happening. and more than a week since it was announced the fix was in the prerelease version. any update on when it hits the release version? you're absolutely killing my team, who are all begging us to buy them more RAM instead of waiting for Adobe to get their #### together.

like Melissa, my company won't be using prerelease programs for production work. how quickly will this be rolled out into the regular release? i had heard from an internal source it might have been last friday, but as of yet, no update available.

the undo issue is a weirdly inconsistent issue with my team. some people have the problem and others don't. but for those that do, it's really made their daily work significantly more difficult. this and the disappearing text have affected about half of our team. and considering how long it's been going on, this really needs to be a priority fix at this point.

yes please! i just had to copy/paste some complex graphics into illustrator, select/change fills/strokes, then copy back across to InDesign. i would love to be able to just do this in InDesign.

any update on this as a future roadmap option?
as a side note for anyone else frustrated with this, there is a script from Keith Gilbert that will automatically copy the artwork, paste it into illustrator, then save as SVG in the same folder as your INDD file.
https://creativepro.com/a-script-to-export-svg-content-from-indesign/
it's a helpful workaround, since it avoids manual steps, but it's frustrating to see that Keith can write a script to do this and Adobe still hasn't managed to integrate a feature that used to exist back into InDesign.

let me add my voice to this request. my company moves a lot of graphics that are created in InDesign into PPT. right now, the three ways we can do this are:
1. Export to PNG (not editable, scaling issues)
2. Add to CC library, place in PPT (not editable)
3. Copy to Illustrator, export as SVG, place in PPT (additional steps, occasional issues w/copy/paste)if we could export directly to SVG, that would make things simpler.

Save this text as a jsx file (I called it RemoveAltText.jsx) and put it in your scripts folder. this script seems to be working for me to remove all alt-text from all images in a document.
(all credit where credit is due, i got this script from the facebook InDesign Secrets group, by Ivy Wood and Jean-Claude Tremblay).
#target indesign
#targetengine "session"
function p(o, n) {
var a, i;
if (!o || !o.reflect) return false;
a = o.reflect.properties;
for (i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
if (a[i].name === n) return true;
}
return false;
}
function main() {
if (app.documents.length === 0) {
alert("No document is open.");
return;
}
var items = app.activeDocument.allPageItems;
var exportOptions;
var i;
for (i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
if (!p(items[i], "objectExportOptions")) continue;
exportOptions = items[i].objectExportOptions;
if (
p(exportOptions, "altTextSourceType") &&
exportOptions.altTextSourceType === SourceType.SOURCE_CUSTOM
) {
if (p(exportOptions, "customAltText")) {
exportOptions.customAltText = "";
}
exportOptions.altTextSourceType = SourceType.SOURCE_XML_STRUCTURE;
}
}
}
main();
