Introduction ------------ Web Governance Accessibility checks are done by the scan. Previously, these checks were divided into three categories, Errors, Warnings, and Reviews. For simplification, this has been updated. Web Governance Accessibility Limited Access introduces two types of accessibility checks, to replace the previous three types: * **Automated**: This category contains failing checks as determined by the scan. Issues of this type are confirmed errors that must be fixed. * Previously, Automated checks were called _Errors_. * **Assisted**: This category contains checks that the scan is unable to verify. Issues of this type are potential errors, and a human must make the final evaluation. * Previously, Assisted checks were called _Warnings_ and _Reviews_. This document provides a list of accessibility checks with the old type and the new type, for your reference.
