Understanding the Accessibility Report

Congratulations on generating your accessibility report! This report is a valuable tool for identifying and addressing any accessibility issues on your website. In this article, we will walk you through the different components of the report and how to use them to improve the accessibility of your site.

Opening the Report Panel

Once an accessibility report has been generated, the report panel will automatically open if there are any issues that need attention.

The Accessibility Report Tabs

The Accessibility Report is divided into three tabs: Issues, Notices, and Dismissed. Each tab displays a list of detected accessibility items in the form of tiles. Let's take a closer look at each tab and what it contains.

Issues Tab

The Issues tab displays important accessibility issues that should be addressed.

Notices Tab

The Notices tab displays detected accessibility notes that can be reviewed. These notes are not as critical as the issues in the previous tab, but they should still be addressed to improve the overall accessibility of your site.

Dismissed Tab

The Dismissed tab contains items from the Issues or Notices tab that have been marked as "Dismissed". This means that you have acknowledged the issue but have chosen not to address it at this time.

Taking Action on Accessibility Issues

Each tile in the Accessibility Report includes actions that you can take depending on the type of issue. These actions may include links to relevant resources, suggestions for code changes, or instructions for fixing the issue directly in the report panel.
