Introduction
------------

The Acquia Web Governance platform has a new User Interface (UI) design for these components:

*   Top navigation and left navigation
    
*   ****Accessibility**** module
    
*   ****Site Analytics**** module (formerly ****Statistics****)
    

These updates improve your workflows and simplify the application design. Read this article or watch the video to see the primary changes.

Removed features
----------------

To simplify the UI, these features are removed:

*   ****Quick Search****: In the top navigation
    
*   ****Users****: In the top navigation. You can still access this in the _Admin_ section.
    
*   ****Accessibility Mode****: In _My Profile_
    
*   Social links: In _My Profile_
    

Changes to the Accessibility Module
-----------------------------------

### Simplified check categories

The system now uses two check categories instead of three:

*   ****Automated checks**** (formerly _Errors_): The scan found confirmed failures. You must fix these errors.
    
*   ****Assisted checks**** (formerly _Warnings_ and _Reviews_): The scan found potential issues. A human must review these issues.
    

For more information, visit [Reference table that maps every existing check ID to its new type.](https://docs.acquia.com/web-governance/changes-check-types-web-governance-accessibility-limited-access)

### Streamlined issue decision actions 

You now have a clearer set of actions for issues:

*   ****Ignore check****: Ignore the full rule.
    
*   ****Ignore code snippet****: Ignore the snippet on the local page or globally with Fast track.
    
*   ****Mark as fixed****: Mark the issue as fixed on this page or on all pages. Automated fixes are verified by the next scan. Assisted fixes are trusted permanently.
    
*   ****Confirm as issue****: A new _Confirmed Issue_ badge shows for assisted checks that a human has verified.
    
*   ****Restore****: Admins can reinstate ignored checks.
    

**Removed**__:__ The manual _Reviewed_ state is removed from the UI. You can still use this state in the browser extension.

### Redesigned Summary page

The _Summary_ page has a new design to help you overview and fix issues. It contains:

*   An _Exclude assisted checks_ toggle. This toggle is in the Accessibility score and Compliance-by-level views. Use this to see a score based only on automated results. The industry benchmark does not display when this toggle is on.
    
*   Cards that show your top issues and the pages with the most issues.
    
*   A progress graph for your accessibility score, issues, and code snippets.
