At first glance, embedding accessibility into existing development workflows can be challenging.
Despite its legal and ethical importance, native accessibility is often one of many competing priorities development teams must balance.
Luckily, with accessFlow, accessibility can integrate directly into how your team already works, with real-time auditing, developer-friendly guidance, and features like auto-resolve to help fix lighter issues at scale.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to:
- Navigate the dashboard and Explore page - your home base within accessFlow
- Manage accessibility from sprint to sprint using core workflows
- Use automated auditing and contextual guidance to help developers auto-resolve issues
- Integrate accessFlow with your team’s tools, including Jira and GitHub
accessFlow gives team leads the tools they need to keep accessibility work on track, without disrupting development workflows.
You’ll interact most with:
- The dashboard, where you can monitor your site’s accessibility posture and track progress over time
- The Explore page, where you can sort, filter, and assign accessibility issues to your team members
Let’s dive into each area separately:
The dashboard: Track progress at a glance
The dashboard gives you a real-time view of your site’s accessibility posture, showing how many issues have been resolved or reopened, and how things have changed over time.
You’ll also find trend graphs that chart issue volume and audit frequency across time. These visualizations help you spot regressions early, tie issue spikes to specific deployments, and understand where accessibility efforts are gaining traction, or losing ground.
Finally, audit updates and breakdowns offer a detailed look at what’s changed since the last cycle. You can see which pages were added or removed, which issues reappeared, and which ones were resolved, giving you the context you need to prioritize accessibility work in your team’s upcoming sprint.
The Explore page: prioritize what matters, assign with clarity
While the dashboard gives you a bird’s-eye view, the Explore page lets you dig into the details. You can see every open issue identified by accessFlow’s automated audits and focus your team’s efforts where they’ll have the most impact.
To understand what you're facing, you can filter accessibility issues in a variety of ways:
- By severity: From critical blockers to low impact hindrances - or vice versa
- By frequency: From most recurring to least - or vice versa
- By WCAG level: From essential Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Level A criteria to more advanced AAA requirements
- By category: From keyboard and navigation issues to contrast and structure-related barriers
These filters help you structure remediation workflows, assign tasks based on expertise or impact, and keep accessibility progress aligned with development priorities.
If you are unfamiliar with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and the role they play in your efforts to comply with regulations, we recommend you check out the following resources:
Incorporate accessibility into your sprints, right from the Explore page
The Explore page isn’t just for reviewing issues - it’s where accessibility work gets shaped into tasks your team can act on.
Each issue can be assigned to a developer, marked with a status (open, resolved, dismissed), commented on for internal visibility, and grouped with similar items to streamline the workload.
You can also export tasks into tools like Jira, monday.com or GitHub, bringing accessibility work into the same systems your team already uses.
Once assigned a task, developers have everything they need to take action, within the remediation panel.
accessFlow’s remediation panel provides code-level context for each issue; from a plain-language description and WCAG reference, to the specific element and a suggested fix.
Approach accessibility projects strategically with auto-resolve
After familiarizing yourself with the platform, the next step is learning how to use accessFlow’s built-in features to tackle accessibility work in a way that’s efficient, scalable, and sustainable over time.
With accessFlow, you can adopt a dual approach to managing accessibility issues:
Recurring issues - things like missing labels, empty buttons, or color contrast violations - can now be resolved automatically using auto-resolve. These are typically the bulk of your backlog and can be addressed at scale in a matter of a few presses.
Meanwhile, more complex or context-sensitive issues, such as dynamic interactions, keyboard traps, or custom components - can be flagged for manual remediation and assigned through your regular workflows.
Harness the power of accessiBe’s patented technology
Auto-resolve uses accessiBe’s patented technology to fix repetitive, pattern-based accessibility issues directly in the browser, without changing your source code. Once you embed a one-time snippet, accessFlow identifies which issues can be handled this way and flags them accordingly.
You’ll see these issues marked as “auto-resolvable” in the Explore page.
From there, fixes can be applied in bulk with just a few clicks, reducing the number of open issues and improving your accessibility score without adding developer workload.
This includes issues like:
- Missing form labels that can be associated programmatically
- Empty buttons and links that need fallback text
- Low color contrast that can be adjusted to meet WCAG thresholds
- Improper ARIA attributes that can be swapped for compliant alternatives
Importantly, each fix is tracked in accessFlow, so you always have visibility into what was resolved automatically, and if needed, your team can return later and implement a permanent code-level change.
With your organization likely facing regulatory requirements, whether from the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), European Accessibility Act (EAA) or other laws, being able to show clear, steady progress toward compliance is a critical business need.
accessFlow helps you rise to the challenge by giving you visibility into posture, clarity around ownership, and automation that reduces developer lift, all while fitting naturally into your team’s existing workflows.
