If desired, turn on Exclude checks that require manual review.This option reduces the number of issues that the scan finds. It instructs the scan to exclude any accessibility checks that require a manual review. Your scan results will only show Error type automated checks, for example, issues that can be programmatically determined as accessibility violations.

When you exclude certain types of checks, you might not see some potential accessibility violations on your website.
