³ÉÈËBÕ¾

Web editors can use the Editoria11y Accessibility Checker to find simple accessibility issues on the sites. The tool functions similarly to a spell checker and addresses critical needs for content editors. 

1. It provides instant feedback. You do not need to remember to press a button or visit a dashboard to identify issues.
2. It exclusively checks for issues a content editor can fix that are within your scope of responsibility.
3. It checks fully rendered pages so you can test content on your published pages and see the exact issue that is flagged. 

Using Editoria11y

When content editors log into the ³ÉÈËBÕ¾ website, you will begin to notice pop-up icons on your site. 

• Accessing the checker:
  • Log in: You need to be logged in to use Editoria11y.
  • Open a page: The checker automatically runs when you open a page where you have content editor access.
  • Toggle the alert icon: The alert icon can be found on the lower right corner of your page. Alerts can be turned on or off by clicking on the icon itself. Each issue can be cycled through by click on the flag next to the counter. 

• Understanding the alerts
  • Issue count: The icon will show a number if accessibility issues are found on the page.
  • Tooltip windows: When you click on an alert icon, a tooltip window will appear next to the element with the issue, providing details and suggestions.
  • Alert icons: Different icons indicate the severity and nature of the issues:
    • Blue: No issues detected.
    • Yellow: Potential issues that may need manual verification.
    • Red: Definite accessibility issues.

• Reviewing and addressing issues:
  • Issue details: The panel opened by the alert icon allows you to step through the issues one by one.
  • Manual checks: Some alerts require manual verification, as the checker might flag issues that don't necessarily require remediation. For example, by default external links automatically open in a new window.
  • Fixing issues: The tooltips will provide suggestions on how to fix the issues, which can then be addressed in the edit mode of the site's content management system.
  • Dismissing alerts: You can hide alerts for specific issues after you have manually verified and addressed them.
