Introduction
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 find and repair accessibility issues with Acquia Web Governance.
