Image Caption Doesn't Display in Document--data center

SophM

I went to Edit mode, selected my image, and went to Properties. I entered a description and alt text, but when I publish it doesn't display. The alt text displays on hover. I want a caption/title below the image. How do I do this??? Is there a different feature to do this???

when in edit mode, on any confluence page, if you click the image there is a spot under the image to put text. See where it says " Add a Caption"

Is this what you are looking for?

I added a caption and exported to be sure and it does show up.

@SophM Your question has Cloud tags, but are you using Data Center or Server instead? In my Cloud site, I see the image toolbar and features displayed in the screenshot that @Brandi Guess included, not with the Image Properties shown in your screenshot.

@Barbara Szczesniak I'm not sure. How can I tell which version. I just assumed Cloud.

SophM

I don't see the option Add a Caption at all. See my screenshot above. @Brandi Guess

This is all I see when I'm in Edit mode and I select my image. Properties is my only option. There is no Add a caption under the image.. See my above screenshot that shows in Properties to Add a Caption, but it doesn't display other than alt text on hover. Could I have a different version? Is there a manual way to add it in the source editor?

@SophM If the URL for your Confluence site uses the format <name>.atlassian.net, then you are on Cloud.

Based on the screenshot in the Customize your image file display section on this page (https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/display-files-and-images-245827130.html ), it looks like you are using Confluence Data Center. This page may help you understand this feature.

I also add the data center tag to your post. You may want to remove the cloud tags to avoid confusion.

Brandi Guess

yes you are on data center based on that photo. I am a cloud admin so I dont know much about Data center. I would say change your tags to data center, I know when I am looking for some questions to answer I scroll through looking for the cloud tag, and they probably do the same for the data center tag.

I hope you find the help you are looking for
