Media metadata helps you describe uploaded assets. CoreCMS supports fields including title, alternative text, caption, description, keywords and a decorative-image flag.

How to use it

1. Open Media Manager and select the image.
2. Open its metadata controls.
3. Enter a useful title and describe the image’s meaning in Alternative text.
4. Use the decorative setting only when the image adds no information.
5. Add a caption or description if needed and save.
6. Check the image in the page or plugin where it is used.

Before you finish

A caption is visible text when the component displays it; alternative text supports people who cannot see the image. Some templates use their own values, so check the rendered result.
