Future Accessibility Plans

Our commitment to accessibility is ongoing. We plan to implement the following improvements in upcoming releases including Q1 and Q2 of 2026 to continue our progress toward conformance.

We will also address the semantic defect in the Tab Panel navigation to ensure a consistent experience for screen reader users, and we will enhance the pagination for keyboard users.

  • Enhance Screen Reader Announcements: Ensure all functionalities in Grid, Table, and List Views are properly announced for screen readers. We will also correct the issue where Selection Toolbar shortcuts (Windows: Ctrl + .) are not announced. Additionally, we will optimize the heading structure for screen readers to improve content comprehension and navigation.

  • Refine Visual & Interactive Elements: Improve the color contrast for the "Display selection" button in the Selection Toolbar. We will also include proper labels on the Viewer's Image and Video Toolbar buttons and optimize off-screen button texts and inline frames for screen readers.
