🛠️ Instructions
Accessibility tools are visible when a page is in EDIT mode.
- At the bottom right-hand side of the edit window there is an icon of a stick figure with outstretched arms. Any accessibility issues will be numbered with this icon.
- The icon that represents a keyboard is a link which provides a list of key combinations that allow the user to navigate the page without a mouse.
After selecting the ACCESSIBILITY CHECKER, a window appears which defines the issue and allows the user to correct the issue.
The changes should be APPLIED, and lastly, the document should be saved.
The list of keyboard commands which allow for keyboard navigation are standard for all of the pages in Canvas, and is standard for most editors in general.
