Introduction
When your development or content team resolves a failing accessibility check, you can update the issue status to reflect the work. Acquia Web Governance handles automated and assistive checks differently. This document provides instructions on how to mark an accessibility issue as fixed.
Review the list below to learn the difference in how the system handles the issues when you mark them as fixed.
For Automated Checks (errors): Mark an automated check as fixed for a temporary all-clear. This action informs the system that the issue has been addressed. The next automated scan does the check again and passes it if the solution fixed the issue. If the code is still broken, the issue will automatically resurface in your reports.
For Assisted Checks (warnings and reviews): Mark an assisted check as fixed for a permanent action. Because these issues require human context or manual review and cannot be programmatically verified by the scan, the system trusts your judgment and will not flag that specific issue again.
