Explore: Understanding the Explore page

The Explore page provides a flexible view of your website’s accessibility issues, helping you to effectively prioritize fixes. Group issues by rules or sort them by severity, number of occurrences, assignee, accessibility criteria, or device type.

The Explore page automatically saves the state of your filters and sort settings for both the Issues and Rules tabs. This means that if you navigate away from the Explore page in accessFlow and return, your preferences are saved.
