- 504.2 (Authoring Tool)
- 602.3 (Support Docs)
Software: The product provides sufficient text alternatives for most instances of application. Exceptions include:
A decorative image is not hidden from screen readers, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will have to navigate through unnecessary and duplicative text. This occurs on the following pages: Your stuff - projects; Mobile Home for free users; Media modal; Menu.
An image has a text alternative that is different than what the image represents, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will be given different information than sighted users. This occurs on the following pages: Browse your files; Your stuff - projects.
Text alternative does not match dynamically changing active image. This occurs on the following pages: Your stuff - Files; Your stuff - projects.

Revised Section 508
- 501 (Web)(Software)
- 504.2 (Authoring Tool)
- 602.3 (Support Docs)
Software: Most visual structure and relationship information is provided through semantics | object information or in text. Exceptions include:
A block of text is marked up as a heading but is not a heading, so the structure of the content is misrepresented to assistive technologies and people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following pages: Browse your files; Push notifications.
Text that visually functions as a heading is not marked up as a heading, so the structure of the content is not properly conveyed to assistive technologies and people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following pages: Home - For you; Premium member mobile.
1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence (Level A)
Also applies to:
EN 301 549 Criteria
- 9.1.3.2 (Web)
- 10.1.3.2 (Non-web document)
- 11.1.3.2.1 (Open Functionality Software)

Revised Section 508
- 501 (Web)(Software)
- 504.2 (Authoring Tool)
- 602.3 (Support Docs)
Software: The product presents most content in a meaningful sequence. Exceptions include:
Screen readers can read content outside the modal dialog, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader may become disoriented or confused. This occurs on the following pages: Your stuff - Files; Mobile Editor for free users; Browse your files; Upload from device; Media modal; Menu; Download menu; Push notifications.
Screen reader focus does not follow the visual focus order or does not move to the intended target, so the reading order for people who are blind and/or use a screen reader may not follow the visual organization of the page. This occurs on the following pages: Upload from device; Mobile Home for free users.
The screen reader skips and does not announce informative static content (text or images), so the intended meaning of that content will be lost or changed for people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following page: Browse your files.
A hidden or empty interactive element receives screen reader focus, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will navigate to an element that is not intended to be part of the reading order on the page or has no content/functionality. This occurs on the following pages: Mobile Editor for free users; Your stuff - projects; Upload from device; Mobile Home for free users; Media modal; Menu.
When a modal is closed, screen reader focus is not returned to the control that opened the modal or to another logical location, making navigation difficult for people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following pages: Your stuff - Files; Mobile Editor for free users.
When a modal dialog is opened, screen reader focus is not placed in the open modal, so navigation to the modal will be difficult or impossible for people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following pages: Your stuff - Files; Mobile Editor for free users; Menu; Download menu; Push notifications.

Software: Most of the headings and labels are descriptive. Exceptions include:
A label for a control or form input field does not convey the purpose of the control or input, so users may not understand what the control does or what data to enter, especially people with cognitive or learning disabilities and people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following pages: Your stuff - Files; Mobile Editor for free users; Media modal; Download menu.
A programmatic label for a control or form input field does not convey the purpose of the control or input, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader may not understand what the control does or what data to enter. This occurs on the following pages: Mobile Editor for free users; Mobile Home for free users.
Multiple buttons have identical programmatic labels but different functionality, and there is no programmatic context, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will not know or may be confused or misled about what each button does. This occurs on the following pages: Your stuff - Files; Mobile Editor for free users; Mobile Home for free users; Media modal.

Software: User interface components in most product functions do not provide programmatic name, role, state, or value information. Exceptions include:
A button does not have a programmatic name, so its name (such as "Submit" or "Cancel") is not conveyed to screen readers and other assistive technologies and will not be available to people who use those technologies. This occurs on the following pages: Your stuff - Files; Mobile Editor for free users; Your stuff - projects; Media modal; Premium member mobile.
A button does not have a programmatic role, so its role (usually button, but sometimes link or something else) is not conveyed to screen readers and other assistive technologies and will not be available to people who use those technologies. This occurs on the following pages: Mobile Editor for free users; Nav bar (bottom); Your stuff - projects; Mobile Home for free users; Media modal; Premium member mobile.
A button does not have a programmatic role and name, so its role (usually button, but sometimes link or something else) and its name (such as "Submit" or "Cancel") are not conveyed to screen readers and other assistive technologies and will not be available to people who use those technologies. This occurs on the following pages: Your stuff - Files.
When a button is selected, its selected state is not conveyed programmatically, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology will not be informed that the button is selected. This occurs on the following pages: Your stuff - Files; Mobile Editor for free users; Mobile Home for free users; Learn.
A control opens Chrome but is missing the link role. This occurs on the following page: Menu.
A form control (such as a text input field or checkbox) is not programmatically associated with its visible label, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology may not be able to understand the purpose of the form control or what input it requires. This occurs on the following page: Your stuff - Files.
A control (such as a button or link) does not have a programmatic name, so its name (such as "Submit" or "Cancel") is not conveyed to screen readers and other assistive technologies and will not be available to people who use those technologies. This occurs on the following page: Menu.
A control has an incorrect programmatic role, so the role (like "button" or "link") conveyed to screen readers and other assistive technologies is incorrect and misrepresents the control's function to people who use those technologies. This occurs on the following pages: Your stuff - Files; Your stuff - projects; Menu; Learn.
An element that looks like a set of tabs with their associated tab panels does not behave like one, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader may not be able to understand the purpose of the element, the information it provides, or how to interact with it. This occurs on the following screens: Nav bar (bottom); Media modal.
A control has an incorrect programmatic state, so the control's state (like "checked"/"unchecked" or "expanded"/"collapsed") conveyed to screen readers and other assistive technologies is incorrect and misrepresents the control's state and functionality to people who use those technologies. This occurs on the following page: Your stuff - Files.
