Accessibility features in the Content Designer help ensure that both creators and employees can navigate, understand, and interact with published content across a wide range of accessibility needs and devices. This overview introduces key tools and practices that support inclusive, user-friendly content creation across the Employee App and Intranet.
The Content Designer provides assistive tools that improve navigation, readability, and overall accessibility.
Operable: Keyboard-based Editing and Navigation
The Content Designer supports keyboard-only operation, enabling users to create and edit content without relying on a mouse. This improves accessibility for users with motor impairments and supports efficient workflows for keyboard users.
- Keyboard shortcuts: Provide a central overview of all available keyboard shortcuts in the Content Designer.
- Quick Actions menu: Insert blocks using the keyboard with Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + K.
- Copy and paste: Reuse blocks and files efficiently without drag-and-drop.
- Keyboard navigation: Navigate sections, containers, and blocks using the keyboard.
Perceivable: Alt Text for Images
Alternative text ensures your images are accessible to all users, including those using screen readers.
Operable: Contextual Toolbar and Focused Editing
The contextual toolbar displays only the editing options relevant to the currently selected section, container, or block.
Perceivable: Color Contrast and Readability
To ensure sufficient contrast between text and background, editors can:
- Adjust text colors
- Apply color overlays to section or container background images
Understandable & Robust: Semantic Heading Structure
The Title block defines the main heading of a page and establishes a clear semantic hierarchy when used together with headings of different sizes.
