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.

Reviewing an issue means that you examine it to determine whether or not it can or should be fixed. Previously, it was possible to set a specific issue to 'Reviewed'. This option is gone from the updated module.
