Editoria11y is a built-in accessibility tool designed to help users find and correct accessibility issues within the content editor. Much like a spell-checker, this tool automatically scans and highlights accessibility issues within your content and provides additional tips and fixes.

- Alt text that contains redundant text like “image of” or “photo of”

- Links with no text
- Links titled with a filename
- Links only titled with generic text: “click here,” “learn more,” “download,” etc.
- Links that open in a new window without warning
- Content structure and headings
- Skipped heading levels
- Empty headings
- Very long headings
- All-bold paragraphs with no punctuation that may need heading tags
- Tables without headers
