Accessibility checks while you write

Under the text box, a panel lists what the automatic checks find as you write. It groups problems into three groups. Choose Show me next to a problem and the cursor moves to it.

What is checked​

  • Images with no description (alt text)
  • Links with no useful words, such as "click here"
  • Empty headings and skipped heading levels
  • Table headers
  • Other common problems

What blocks publishing​

  • A missing image description blocks publishing. Add a description of what the image shows, or mark it as decorative if it adds no meaning.
  • A skipped heading level blocks publishing unless an administrator allows it. Fix it by using the next heading level down.

Limits​

Automatic checks find many problems but not all of them. A town stays responsible for its own content, including captions on meeting video. Clerk of Eden does not call a page "compliant".
