Hello @SAP/ui5-webcomponents-topic-rd,

Could you please take a look at this? Access Assistant reports a "Provide alternative text for images" issue for SideNavigation with icons. We should set the Icon mode to Decorative in the renderer of SideNavigationItems.

Best,
Siyana

Hi @nopearson,

This issue was caused by an unintentional change of the default value of the Icon component's mode property, which we use inside the SideNavigationItems. It has been fixed with #10969.

Tested with AccessAssistant and on our side, there are no such problems reported for SideNavigation anymore, so I am closing this.

Best,
Siyana
