Introduction

Acquia Web Governance accessibility checks are done by the scan. There are two types of accessibility checks:

• Automated: This category contains failed checks as determined by the scan. Issues of this type are confirmed errors that must be fixed.
• Assisted: This category contains checks that the program was unable to verify. Issues of this type are potential errors, and a human must make the final evaluation.

This document provides instructions on how to review both types of accessibility issues.
