1. If the image is decorative, keep the checkmark beside **Mark the image as decorative**. Content marked as decorative won't provide descriptions to screen readers. However, if the image is informative, remove the checkmark beside **Mark the image as decorative**. Then input the description of the image in the **Alternative text** **box**.
