Now Available in axe Monitor 8.3
The next evolution of axe Monitor is now available as a full SaaS offering for enterprises. The reimagined accessibility monitoring platform provides you with a clear picture of your customer experience in production. Mitigate accessibility risk and control regression with accurate testing, actionable, prioritized exports, and comprehensive reporting.
What’s New
Prioritize by Common Components and Selectors
When Common Components are applied to scan settings, the Scan Overview now shows related accessibility issues with a breakdown by Impact.
Fixing an accessibility issue on one selector, or in one area of your code, is often more impactful than fixing issues by each page or rule. For example, fixing an accessibility issue on an “img” selector may fix 20% of all the accessibility issues in your results.
The new Selectors table shows the selectors from your code, sorted by the ones are causing the most accessibility issues in your scan. Fixing your code in one place is a more efficient way to improve the accessibility of your site.
You can also now filter by Selector on the “Issues” view.
Control who can create new scans
From the Admin section, the Permissions Settings panel allows axe Monitor admins to manage which roles can create new scans.
User Experience Improvements
- The navigation user experience is updated, allowing you to more easily navigate between different areas of the axe platform.
- The “multiselect” functionality has been improved across several areas of axe Monitor. It’s now easier to filter by multiple scan groups at once on the Scans list.
- On Scan Overview, scan run history is now moved under a dropdown with the date and time. The More Options menu is easier to find.
Bug Fixes
- All scan members and viewers for a scan now show in the “assign to” menu.
- When the “Share public link” option is turned on, the link will show in the scan completion email.
- A small number of email notifications were showing numbers that didn’t correlate to eachother correctly. This is now resolved.
- When an axe Universal JSON format file has very long selectors (over 2048 characters in a single selector), it can now be uploaded to axe Monitor.
Known Issues
- When some scan groups are deleted, an error appears, preventing deletion. Remove all scans from the scan group before deleting, or create a prefix for your scan group such as “Archive” to indicate it is intended to be deleted.
- Some text, such as "test for best practices" and "Status columns" are not properly translated to Spanish, French, Italian, and German.
