The optimize tab will show you all items and whether each item has passed, warning or failed. Every issue will have a high or medium impact.
If any item has failed you can select 'Highlight' to view the section of the email that has issues or select 'Edit' to be taken to the relevant section to review and fix.
Configuring the Optimize Tab
The tests under the Optimize tab can be configured so that a failed test will either produce a warning or completely block the email from being synced or downloaded.
With Alternate Text, you can set it to give a warning, ignore or error.
