Microsoft Designer, read against Article 50

Microsoft Designer states in a support answer that content credentials based on the C2PA standard are applied to images created with its editing features, and that the provenance metadata can be viewed on the Content Credentials site. From 1 source page, read 2026-09-22; no maker pays to be listed.

Inclusion rule. Points are the same four for every generator recorded here: the two Article 50 duties, who controls the mark, and whatever the vendor states about it. A point the vendor does not publish is recorded as not documented. Order. Fixed order, identical on every generator page.

1The same point, across every generator recorded

Inclusion rule. Generators whose own public pages say something about marking. A generator silent on this particular point keeps its row, marked hollow. Order. Alphabetical by generator name.

2The scope sentence names editing, not only generation

The wording attaches the credential to images created with the editing features rather than to images produced by a generative prompt. That is a wider scope than most statements here, and it matches the phrase the article uses, which reaches content that is generated or manipulated rather than only content conjured from nothing.

It also raises the question the wording is silent on, which is what a credential says about an image that was edited lightly. The marking duty carves out assistive editing that does not substantially alter the input, and a credential applied to every edit says nothing about which side of that line a particular file fell. The row records the scope as published and does not resolve the overlap.

3Where a credential is read matters as much as where it is written

The second half of the answer names the place a viewer goes to read the metadata: a separate site that inspects the file. That is a real route and it is one a member of the public has to be told about, which puts it some distance from the article's requirement that information reach people clearly and at first exposure.

The gap between the two is not a criticism of the vendor. A manifest and a notice answer different paragraphs, and this vendor has published about the first and not the second. What the record can say is which half is covered, which is why the disclosure row here reports that nothing visible is described rather than reporting an absence of any mark.

4Columns filed separately for this entry

Four words is all a row holds. Where a cell read off Microsoft Designer's support FAQ needs the sentence behind it, the kind of document that sentence sits in and the limit on what it proves, it is filed on its own page below.

• Designer on credentials for images — The support article says credentials based on C2PA are applied to all images made with the editing features.
• Designer on the credentials site — The support article says provenance metadata can be viewed on the Content Credentials site.
• Designer on which images carry it — The claim is scoped to all images created with the editing features, which tells a reader what is covered and what is left open.
