Configure Accessibility DevTools
This page covers the settings available in the Accessibility DevTools browser extension. These settings apply when you run scans manually through the DevTools panel.
If you are configuring settings for automated test execution (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, etc.), see Configure Accessibility Automation instead.
Access DevTools settings
Click on your profile icon and then Settings.
WCAG version
Select which WCAG version your DevTools scans should check against. Options include WCAG 2.0, WCAG 2.1 A, WCAG 2.1 AA, WCAG 2.1 AAA, WCAG 2.2 A, and WCAG 2.2 AA. The recommended version is WCAG 2.1 AA.
Review Issues
Some issues require manual review before they can be confirmed as true violations. When this setting is enabled, the scan results include a Needs Review category.
To review an issue:
- Click on the issue to expand it.
- Select the element you want to evaluate.
- Click Yes to confirm it as an issue, or leave it unconfirmed.
- Use Undo to reverse a confirmation.
Best Practices
Enable this setting to include issues that go beyond WCAG requirements but improve overall user experience. Best practice issues are reported separately from WCAG violations.
Autosave Reports
This option is enabled by default. When active, scan results are automatically saved to the Accessibility dashboard. Toggle it off if you want to review results without persisting them.
