Yes, they are retained and they are one source engineers will be using to find books in the collection with image descriptions.

My question was whether submitter comments are retained; it would let them know which of my books I described pictures in. That is, for books already in the collection.

If so, I always make a note of picture descriptions and whether full or limited (like pages with no text).

The problem with this task is circular: We can't find books in the collection with descriptions because we don't have the checkbox data yet to search on.

Do you want old ones with descriptions? As some people described several of the kids books I did a while ago, smile, I could get the list to you. Shelley L.

It will be a separate engineering step later for that information to be visible to members as they search so right now we are just focusing on making sure we have a complete list of our books with image descriptions. Between now and November 29 please email me the titles of any books that you have submitted with image descriptions. That way we can be certain we mark them correctly in the collection. Once you see the checkbox asking if a book has image descriptions feel free to use it.
