Alt text for images in the new editor?

[Kristine Sihto]

Being a sometimes user of screen-reader technology, I frequently added alt-text descriptions on images in Confluence pages in the old editor. I've been trying to find a similar feature in the new editor, but I've been unable to locate a way to add alt-text. Is alt-text for images possible in the new editor?

@Gina Palombit I think Atlassian Community (this site) and jira.atlassian.com (where the Jira is located) are two different sites, and require separate logins.

As far as I know, it's still a missing feature. And an insanely bad oversight on Atlassian's part.

All you need to do is add your image, click on the image, then select add "Alt Text" add you your text and hit enter.
