Hi Weavers, Another solid update to keep things running smoothly. Alongside the fixes and improvements, we’ve also added additional [deep link support](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/getting-started/url-scheme) to Elements. This expands the URL scheme capabilities and opens the door to some really useful workflows between Elements and external tools. We’ll be sharing more details on how this can be used in the near future, so stay tuned. As always, thanks for testing, reporting issues, and helping us continually improve Elements. We’ll be back soon with another update. ## What’s New in Elements 2.1.2? - Fixed the Gallery overlay opacity in Dark Mode for correct appearance. - Fixed the Filter component breaking with circumflex accents. - Image Slider now uses image captions as alt text for improved accessibility. - Added the elementsapp://import-custom-component URL scheme to import custom components. ## Availability [RapidWeaver Elements](https://realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/) is available now as a **free upgrade** for everyone with an active subscription.

Did 2.1.2 change the way the local web view has worked? Goes to a “download” now instead of showing webpage.. ---

Try to check for an update again. That was fixed with an additional 2.1.2 release. For any .md pages like a blog post this is a normal behavior. ---

It still seems this is an issue. I’m on Elements 2.2.1. I don’t see the image captions showing as alt text.
