Add a title or caption to objects in Numbers for iCloud
You can add a title or descriptive caption to most objects, including images, image galleries, shapes (not including lines), text boxes, tables, and charts. If you move the object, the title and caption move with it.
If you have grouped objects, you can also add a title or caption that applies to the entire group.
