Preserve alignment and caption when replacing images by Copilot · Pull Request #11407 · outline/outline

Copilot · 2026-02-10T22:34:35Z

When replacing an image via the replaceImage command, only width was preserved. Caption (alt) and alignment (layoutClass) were lost.

Changes

shared/editor/nodes/SimpleImage.tsx

Extended replaceImage to preserve height, alt, and layoutClass attributes alongside existing width preservation

shared/editor/commands/insertFiles.ts

Added alt and layoutClass to Options.attrs type definition

Implementation

// Before: only width preserved
attrs: {
  width: node.attrs.width,
}

// After: all formatting attributes preserved
attrs: {
  width: node.attrs.width,
  height: node.attrs.height,
  alt: node.attrs.alt,              // caption
  layoutClass: node.attrs.layoutClass, // alignment: left-50, right-50, full-width, null
}

The attributes flow through insertFiles and spread into the new image node creation, maintaining user-configured formatting across replacement operations.
