Spotlight Callouts

Your featured image in your spotlight callout snippet will need alt text.

Adding & Replacing Alt Text

Consider alt text each time you add or replace an image in your spotlight callout snippet.

  1. Select your image, then click the Image icon to get to the Insert/Edit options. 
    • The edit toolbar for an Omni CMS page. The insert/edit image icon is marked with a garnet rectangle for emphasis.
       
  2. If the image offers absolutely no important visual information or merely repeats nearby information, you may check the "Image is decorative" option box. Otherwise, be sure this box is left unchecked.

  3. Add your alt text to the "Alternative description" box. Click "Save" to confirm.
    • The Insert/Edit Image modal over a Multipurpose List Snippet. Empty fields for Source, Accessibility, and Alternative Description are emphasized with a garnet rectangle.
