This article provides instructions on how to review or ignore an accessibility issue.
You can do a review on warning and review issue types. The difference between warning and review type checks is the likelihood that the code snippet contains an accessibility barrier is higher in a warning.
The issue types are as follows:
Errors (insect icon)
These are content issues such as HTML snippets that are not compliant. These issues can only be fixed with a change to the source code.
Warnings (bell icon)
Warnings are often actual accessibility barriers. These issues need to be reviewed manually.
Reviews (eye icon)
Reviews are generic issues that cannot be tested by the software and therefore need to be reviewed manually.
With Reviews, “Mark as Fixed” should only be used if the code snippet has been repaired on the HTML for the page. If it is not fixed properly, the line of code is re-flagged on the next scan. If it is not possible or necessary to repair the issue in the code, mark the issue as “Review” instead.
