Yes, unless you set the layer to dialogue or prevent user clicking on baser layer, ensure you move the layer objects to after the interactive element that shows the layer
right now I have on the base layers buttons that brings me to the different layers on slide. I need the screen reader to start reading the different layers only after the user is clicking the button that brings him to the layer.
is there anything I need to set in the focus order or layer settings?
There are different ways of showing a layer. You can have them open as in a tabbed interaction where the base layer needs to be clicked on. In these instances you need to ensure the objects in your layers are directly after the button in the focus order that shows that layer in a logical order.
The other way is when you show a popup and the base layer cannot be clicked in these cases you can set them to either a dialogue layer or set them to prevent the user clicking on the base layer and in this situations you only need to set the focus order for each layer to be logical as they will automatically take focus so you don’t need to move the objects in the focus order.
If you edit the state and then either press ctrl+shift+enter or right click size and position as long as you are editing states you can edit the alt text for a state.

Thanks Phil!
can I ask a follow up question -
where can I set alt text for a state of a photo? (for example, a selected state)
If you edit the state and then either press ctrl+shift+enter or right click size and position as long as you are editing states you can edit the alt text for a state.

thank you!
ok so my layers are like pop up - and I set it to prevent user clicking base layer.
in the focus order - should i move the base layer to top and other layers down? does it matter?
You can do it to be tidy but doesn’t need to be done.
