Powerpoint 2019 Accessibility Checker

I created my first PowerPoint presentation using PowerPoint 2019. There are some images that I have marked as "decorative". (I was very happy to see this feature added to PowerPoint 2019.)

When I run the Accessibility Checker in PowerPoint 2019, there are no errors. But when I run the Accessibility Checker in PowerPoint 2016, this images are flagged for not having alt text. My question is which accessibility check to believe. I'm assuming the 2019 version, but I wanted to reach out to this group for their thoughts.

Thanks,

Mark
