SharePoint: Accessibility Improvements to Page Authoring
To support
accessibility best practices, we’ve made some improvements to the Page
authoring experience. 1 - Added
functionality to mark images as decorative. Decorative images will be
ignored by assistive technology, including screen readers. This addition
has been made to the following: background image of the Title Region,
images added inline with the Text Web Part, Image Web Part, Image Gallery,
Hero, Call to Action, and Quick Links. 2 - Changed
the heading level 1 to be reserved for the page title in the title area.
Headings can still be added to a page at levels 2-4 using the web parts.
This makes it easier for users of screen readers to understand how your
page is structured.
Expected Release Date:
August CY2023
