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.

Check ID	Check name	Old check Type	New check Type
10	Is the image a flickering GIF?	review	Assisted
17	Does the audio file have a text transcript?	review	Assisted
18	Does the anchor element open a new window without warning?	warning	Assisted
20	Is there a text alternative for the multimedia file?	warning	Assisted
27	Blinking text must not be used	error	Automated
66	Is there a text alternative for the linked audio file?	warning	Assisted
69	Marquee element must not be used	error	Automated
71	Auto-redirect must not be used	error	Automated
82	Are p elements used as headers?	warning	Assisted
114	Layout tables should have an empty summary attribute or none at all
