Include existing alt text in new format Shopify
Add the Existing Alt Text component to your format when you want to keep prior wording inside the new structure.

Drop Existing Alt Text into the format alongside AI Generated or Product Title if you want to preserve hand-written pieces.
If you instead want a full rewrite, omit that component and enable overwrite so new AI text replaces the old string.
