Through the commands in this window, which can be accessed via the
Accessibility button available wherever a graphic or video file can be imported, you can manage the accessibility settings of the image or video.
First, you need to determine whether the image you are working on is a purely decorative element or if it serves a function that should be conveyed to users who cannot see the image.
