Notable Changes in Axe Developer Hub in 2026

Not for use with personal data

May 28, 2026

  • Users can now search and filter their projects by name, contributor, date, or project type.
  • Accessibility issues sent to Jira now display the Jira issue key and current status (for example, "To do" or "In progress") directly in the Developer Hub issue header, making it possible to track Jira remediation status without leaving Developer Hub. The status also refreshes immediately after sending an issue.

May 11, 2026

  • Users with an active Jira integration can now send accessibility issues to Jira directly from a Developer Hub issue page.
  • When configuring Jira priority mapping, you can now map multiple priority levels from your project to a single Jira priority.
  • Fixed a problem where the same Git repository appeared as multiple separate entries in Developer Hub when accessed using different URL formats (for example, with and without a .git suffix).
  • Simplified the signup flow for new users joining an enterprise via invitation.
  • Fixed an issue where in-progress test runs in gitless projects displayed an unexpected date.
  • Fixed accessibility issues in the results treeview, including focus indicator scope and keyboard focus handling on initial navigation.
  • Fixed an issue where navigating to an invalid or deleted project URL showed an error; a "Not Found" page is now shown instead.

April 21, 2026

  • Updated axe-core to version 4.11.3. See axe-core 4.11.3 release notes.
  • Users who belong to multiple enterprise accounts can now switch between them.

April 2, 2026

  • Multi-user project collaboration: Developer Hub projects are now shared, enabling multiple team members to upload and access results. Enterprise organizational admins (org admins) gain visibility into all projects across the organization. Learn how to set up projects for team use.
  • Pipeline run visibility (Axe Watcher only): Test runs started from a CI/CD pipeline are flagged as Pipeline in Developer Hub, distinguishing them from local test runs (which may use uncommitted, in-progress code). Branch comparisons to the default Git branch always reference the latest pipeline run, ensuring a consistent and reliable view of your codebase's accessibility health. Learn more about using Axe Watcher in your CI/CD.
  • Axe Watcher docs have moved: Axe Watcher documentation now lives in the Axe DevTools for Web section. This reflects Developer Hub's expanded scope: it's no longer an Axe-Watcher-specific tool but a central place to view results from Axe DevTools for Web (including the Web APIs and axe CLI) and Axe DevTools for Mobile. See the documentation.
  • Branches, commits, and gitless views now load data in paginated batches, improving performance for projects with large numbers of scans.
  • Organizational administrators can now edit and delete projects they administer.
  • Gitless scan timestamps now include the local timezone abbreviation.
  • Corrected problems with tab order navigation.

March 24, 2026

  • Added support for RGAA (Référentiel Général d'Amélioration de l'Accessibilité), the French national accessibility standard.

March 2, 2026

  • Fixed an issue where branch names containing forward slashes were displayed as URL-encoded characters in the issues page breadcrumb.

February 17, 2026

  • Fixed accessibility in the View Hierarchy panel to improve screen reader navigation.
  • Fixed an issue where the filter dropdown on the issues page showed no label when no option was selected.
  • Fixed an issue where the GitHub commit status reported by the Axe Developer Hub GitHub action could show incorrect results when a commit had multiple scan sessions.

February 10, 2026

  • Mobile SDKs can now send scan results in batches, improving reliability for large mobile test suites.
  • Project access and subscription controls now work correctly when a user belongs to more than one enterprise.
  • Fixed the contributor dropdown and default-branch "run by" label in the commits view.
  • Fixed a broken URL when navigating to the default branch from a project card.
  • Fixed several accessibility issues in the interface.
  • Improved performance of branch-listing queries.

  • Fixed a problem where projects created via CLI or API couldn't be used with a paid subscription.
