Generate and sync an article’s featured image

Aomark Writer · Updated September 28, 2026

Create an optional featured image, review it, and use Sync featured image to attach or refresh its WordPress metadata.

Generate an optional image

Open Review → Images. Image availability varies by job. Where the control is available, Generate Featured Image requests an AI-generated image for the article. Review the result in the Generated Image area before deciding whether to use it.

1. Open the article's Images tab.
2. Check whether image generation is available for this job.
3. Choose Generate Featured Image only when a generated visual is appropriate for the article.

Review before syncing

Inspect the generated image for relevance and accuracy before syncing it. Sync featured image attaches a missing image or refreshes alt text and title on an existing WordPress post; it does not change the article body or status. After syncing, check the post in WordPress to confirm the expected image and metadata.

1. Check that the image depicts a subject supported by the article.
2. Review its alt text and title for accuracy and accessibility.
3. Use Sync featured image only when you intend to update the WordPress post's featured-image data.
