- Status filter using local attachment metadata.
- Attachment title, MIME type, dimensions, status, and current alt text.
- Nonce-protected inline alt text update for one image at a time.

If a user updates alt text through the plugin, the new value is saved to WordPress core attachment metadata under _wp_attachment_image_alt.
