This article will show you how to modify Alternate Text for an Image within an Editor Widget. You may want to change the Alt Text within the Editor Widget, instead of within the Image Repository, so that the Alt Text can be specified for an individual page, instead of the Alt Text being the same for a photo site-wide.

Alternative text is important when using a screen reader to access the site and for WCAG 1.1.1.
