Creating Content Checklists

Accessibility Checklists Home

Confirm that you’re following best practices and guidelines to maximize the
accessibility of your documents and other shared materials.

Make it a habit to review the checklists that apply to the type of content
you’re creating — whenever you're beginning a new project, and again before
you launch or distribute it.
