Alt text is hidden by design — it’s meant to be read aloud by screen readers, not shown visually in the editor or book preview. If you’ve added alt text to an image, rest assured it’s there behind the scenes and will be included in your exported ePub file.
If you need to double-check, you can reopen the image settings to view or edit the alt text you've entered. If you're exporting for accessibility review, tools like ACE by DAISY can help confirm that the alt text is present in the final file.
