Understanding the Explore page

  • Updated

The Explore page gives you a flexible view of your website’s accessibility issues, so you can prioritize fixes effectively. View issues by status (open, resolved, dismissed), group them by rule, or explore issues on specific web pages.

Set a default view: Open the three-dot menu (…) and set your default view: Issues, Rules or Web pages. Your selection determines which tab opens first when you access the Explore page.

Use the search bar to find accessibility issues by issue ID or CSS selector, including partial matches.
