Description

I would like to request a way for mass.gov content creators to be able to remove "manual check” issues from the Accessibility report for authors. Authors can “mark the issue okay for users” but the issue comes back when a new report is generated. If this isn’t technically possible, please remove manual checks from the report entirely or create a separate report for them. These items often clutter the report and can frustrate and undermine authors trying to fix their accessibility issues. For example a report might tell an author they have 50 issues, but an hour later they discover 45 of them were for things they already checked.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First clarify whether manual checks should be dismissible, excluded, or moved to another report, then trace the Accessibility report and author workflow. Done means the chosen behavior is implemented and manual-check results no longer repeatedly clutter authors’ reports.
