Adding Alt Text to images displayed within your emails is a great way to boost accessibility. If anyone receiving your email has their settings configured to not display images, the Alt Text will display instead; signaling that an image is available for them to download.
You can Add Alt Text to an Image under placeholder images and those within your content. Alt Text is also useful when you Add an Image Gallery. To add Alt Text to images in your Image Gallery, follow the instructions below:
