How to Add Accessibility Tags and Alt Text for Graphs Imported from Illustrator in InDesign 2024

Question

Hi Does anyone know how to tag and add alt text for graphs (brought in as AI files) from illustrator please? The

tag doesn't seem to come up in 'object export options'? Indesign v19.5 - 2024. Do i just leave it to automatically detect there is a figure there - and add alt text, as I would do with an image?

With the placed .AI file selected, click on Object menu > Object Export Options > Tagged PDF > Apply Tag: Based On Object> Actual Text Source: Custom (write some alt text)
