- Click Save at the bottom of the page to save changes.

- If the images already have common tags then you know they are correct.
- If the images do not have common tags, they will need to be replaced.
- Click the lesson editor icon to go to the page to replace the image.
- Double click the image to go to the Edit Image option.
- Click REPLACE.
- Find the tag name from the standards.
- Add the tag from the standard and the common tag (click the plus symbol to add).

- Click confirm.
- Save your work.
- Go back to the images.
The Smartboard icon image now shows the correct tags.
General Steps for sharing common images and recording the alt text:
- Open the IMAGES SHEET for the eBook you need to get alt text.
- Go into eBooks and C3PO. Open the IMAGES TAB for a lesson/Ans/TN needed and find images without an alt text.
- Use the Problem Locator sheet to find similar lessons with possibly the same image.
- If there is an image from another eBook where alt text is completed, then continue with step 4. Note: The connections eBooks and INT eBooks do not have alt text yet!
- Otherwise, write in the Tech Comments column, "No image with alt text written". Then go to the next image.
- Go into C3PO and double click the image and click "Replace".
- Type the tags to find images in the second eBook.
- Once the image is found, click it and then CONFIRM. If it doesn't save, you probably hit "Replace" instead of CONFIRM.
- Check the images in C3PO to see if the alt text is now within the ebook.
- In the IMAGES TAB, create image tags so that all of the appropriate eBooks are represented in the tags!
- COPY the alt text to the Images smartsheet!
Sometimes duplicate images exist between the English and Spanish versions of eBooks and also occur within the same eBook or between eBooks.
In the example below, we want to combine cca.7-32.png and ccas.7-32.png. When combining English and Spanish images, pay attention to text. Both images for problem 7-32 have English for the word "Bank" and "Julie" on the name tag, so they match. In ccas.7-35.png the graph has Spanish labels on the axis. The images for problem 7-35 can not be combined.
- Remember to follow the standards for tags. The original tags with extensions (.png) need to be replaced with appropriate tags as outlined by the standards.
- You can replace an image from the image editor screen. Double click the image in a lesson or element container.
- You will use the tag to search for the image.
- Add an additional tag per the standards if more than one result is returned.
- Click the image and then click confirm.
