In previous version of **Accessibility Checker**, the image repair dialog only proposed values from `+alt+`, ignoring `+aria-label+` and `+title+`, which forced manual entry and slowed accessibility repairs while increasing the risk of inconsistent descriptions.

{productname} {release-version} now auto-suggests `+alt+` text using a priority-based fallback that checks existing attributes in order `+aria-labelledby+`, `+aria-label+`, `+alt+` then `+title+` and leaves the field empty if none are present. This ensures that users can label images faster and with greater accuracy by leveraging existing accessibility attributes, improving repair efficiency and consistency.

For information on the **Accessibility Checker** plugin, see: xref:a11ychecker.adoc[Accessibility Checker].
