    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!

Hello joanrussell,

Happy to help!

You can "reset" the accessibility text of an object by deleting the text and closing the "Size and Position -> Accessibility" window. Here's a recording showing this process. You can check if the alternative text was successfully deleted by checking the focus order of the slide. 

Hope this helps!

JoseTansengco Unfortunately there seems to be a bug where this sometimes does not work. It keeps reverting to the custom alt text by itself when you save the project. https://community.articulate.com/discussions/discuss/storyline-360-alt-text/1211429/replies/1218802
