Setting Image Localization Scope
Setting Image Localization Scope records a distinct Microsoft Learn authoring convention and keeps it scoped to that documentation environment rather than presenting it as a universal writing rule.
Use the Microsoft Learn image extension’s `loc-scope` property when image localization scope must be declared; it is optional for content and complex images and required for screenshots when the product’s localization scope differs.
