I think it would be helpful to have a requirement that if there are any Accessibility items that the checker has flagged, a page/assignment cannot be published. This way, no matter the tag, Canvas users posting pages would be unable to ignore the recommended changes to their content. This would catch newly created content. Older content could be flagged in a list similar to the Link Validator (please see this thread to give feedback on the idea).

Hi @julia_dunkin -

Thank you for sharing your Idea! I think this would be a great tool for schools to have available. I look forward to seeing what Community members think.

While you mentioned this in your original post, please create a separate idea for Create Accessibility Error Summary alongside Link Validator (or something similar). It will help direct discussions! Thanks!

Hello!

Thank you for the confirmation on that second part. I'll go ahead and do that!

Edit: here is the thread for the summary idea. Accessibility Summary.

Regards,

This would be a very helpful nudge to content creators
