The Accessibility Checker tool assists in identifying accessibility issues and provides solutions for repair. The Accessibility Checker will classify issues by severity. The severity levels are Error, Warning, and Tips.

  • An Error means that not fixing this issue will make the document extremely difficult, if not impossible, for someone using assistive technology (AT) to read.
  • A Warning means that in most, but not all cases, the document will be challenging for a user of assistive technology to use.
  • A Tip is defined as an issue that could improve a user’s experience by presenting the content in a different way.
