    Hi, all!

    I have some great news to share! We just released a new version of Storyline 360 (Update 103), which included a fix for the issue where custom alt text added to buttons, radio buttons, text boxes, and checkboxes couldn't be changed or reset to default.

    To take advantage of this update, simply launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find step-by-step instructions here.

    Please let us know if you have any questions by posting here or reaching out to our Support Engineers directly. We'll be happy to help!

A colleague gave me the solution. I had to go into the Option, Normal State, choose the object, then right click for accessibility and then delete and then enter. Then checking focus order could see that it was gone.

    Hello joanrussell ,

    Thanks for sharing your workaround. I'm sure that will be helpful to anyone who comes across this thread looking for help with a similar problem. I can confirm we're monitoring a bug in Storyline 360 that causes alternative text to persist even after it has been deleted. I tested this on my end using the steps you shared, and I confirmed the behavior.

    I've added this thread to the bug report so we can notify everyone here as soon as a fix is released!

      Thanks for the update on this bug! It's definitely frustrating to deal with the alt-text persisting, especially when trying to ensure accessibility. I'm experiencing this directly, and the annoying fix of having to go into the normal state to delete the alt text is very time-consuming, especially when we have to do this for all four of our courses. Just wondering if there's any news on a potential timeline for a fix, as this impacts our workflow quite a bit.
