v2.13.1
January 6th 2020 Release [v2.13.1]
Welcome to the January 6th Release of Accessibility Insights for Web
Highlights
New UI for fast pass automated checks
Based on numerous feedback and user studies we have a new UI for Automated checks in FastPass.
The new UI is consistent with the automated checks report. This also simplifies the workflow for selecting elements and reviewing the details on the failure and how to fix information.
Refinements to Accessibility Insights for Web permissions
We are changing permissions of Accessibility Insights for Web to only request access to the active page. This provides additional security and privacy to our users and will streamline the review process for publishing the extension.
For our users this means to changes to the workflow:
- if your page has iframes, we will ask for additional permissions to ensure we can scan the iframes too. You can read more about this additional permission on our FAQ.
- if you have an Assessment or FastPass in progress, and then try to change the domain-level portion of the URL of the tab Accessibility Insights is running against to a different one (for example, from foo.com to bar.com), you will need to start a new test by going to that new page and re-launching the Accessibility Insights extension by selecting the extension button. Previously, you would have been able to re-use the old Accessibility Insights page.
