What’s New in Axe Monitor 8.7
Uploads now apply to future scan runs
Managing manual testing results — especially Intelligent Guided Tests (IGTs) — is now simpler and more reliable. When you upload issues to Axe Monitor from the Axe DevTools browser extension or another Axe product, those issues will be available in future scan runs. This is helpful when teams perform manual tests less frequently than their scan runs in Axe Monitor. Your uploaded results will be available in your most recent scan run in Axe Monitor.

Scan Overview user experience improvements
- Scan Overview now has scan actions and run options organized in a user-friendly toolbar at the top of the page.
- Accessibility score and issues by impact were rearranged for a cleaner visual experience.
- Accessibility score now displays with two decimal places, showing more granular progress over time.
- The selectors table now shows 5 rows by default instead of 10, to reduce scrolling. This section is useful to help you prioritize by selectors – fix single lines of code with the most accessibility issues to maximize results.
- When the PDF target setting is applied, the scan overview now shows a progress indicator for scanning PDFs while the scan is running.
More Control Over Authentication and Scripting
Authentication scripts and user flow scripts can be run on the same scan. You can also control whether or not you want your log in to run before any user flow scripts. This option can be helpful if you require user consent to enter a site, or for handling cookie banners.
Additional Update
- The new Deque logo now shows in Axe Monitor.
Bug Fixes
- Schedule preview dates in scan settings are now showing correctly for monthly scans.
- Radio buttons were occasionally not functioning well when creating or editing a scan. This is now fixed.
- Axe Monitor now permits URLs to be scanned when they require a ‘/’ at the end of the URL in order to load.
- On Scan Overview, the Issue Groups previously linked to filters which excluded common component issues. This bug has been corrected and all issues related to the selected category now show at the link, regardless of whether they are related to common components.
- Japanese translations were improved across Axe Monitor, especially for error messages and the screen reader user experience.
- Accessibility was improved when deleting scans and presets at 200% and 400% zoom levels.
Known Issues
- “Public Share Links” are only available once a scan run has been completed.
- Users with the Scan viewer permission are not able to assign issues to other users.
- “Comment” field content on individual issues does not currently persist across scan runs.
