šŸš€ Exciting news from our team! Weā€™re thrilled to share that Evolve has successfully passed a second rigorous accessibility audit! This milestone allows us to confirm three more componentsā€”narrative, text narrative, and GIFā€”and also the search extension ā€“ as accessible within Evolve. Accessibility is at the heart of what we do, and weā€™re committed to ensuring that everyone can create and engage with content seamlessly. Thank you to our community for your feedback and support on this journey. Together, weā€™re making content creation more inclusive and impactful! šŸ’”āœØ ---

Love to see it! Making it easier to make courses accessible is super useful, thank you šŸ˜ƒ ---

Just to note: the accessibility indicators: ![Evolve's accessibility indicator](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/evolveauthoring/original/2X/5/5200a3f1bac45eb3b098433a48573f85fcba9f92.png) havenā€™t been updated for these new four accessible items yet. Nor do the components appear if you filter for ā€˜Accessibleā€™ like this: ![Evolve Accessible Components filter](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/evolveauthoring/original/2X/c/c001e452a7f5d0f4cd0d75e762dd9754b1929632.png) ~~Thatā€™ll be fixed very soon (this week, probably).~~ These have been updated now! We also made one other big update following feedback from the audit - which was to remove disabled buttons from the ā€˜tab flowā€™ (they can still be accessed by screen readers though). They also now show the ā€˜not allowedā€™ cursor on hover when disabled - in line with accessible style guidelines such as the [GOV.UK design system](https://design-system.service.gov.uk/). ---

Hi Matt, Having updated some courses in the last couple of months that I thought were not accessible around narratives, but included as a standard, at what point in the timeline (date) were the changes in place to pass the audit? Iā€™m assuming they are currently live. Thanks. ---

The main changes to it were released on July 10th this year. Then on 19th November we released a further update (following a recommendation from the accessibility audit) to add a _Slide ARIA Label_ field to each of the slide items so as to allow for a slide count to be appended to the Next/Previous Slide Button ARIA Label so that you can set it to be something like ā€˜next slide 2 of 3ā€™. I would say if you havenā€™t got that set itā€™s probably not a major issue as itā€™s really there just to give more context to someone relying solely on a screen reader. ---

This is all really great news! We appreciate all the accessibility efforts you guys are making. I was just asked by someone at my organization which version of WCAG Evolve is tested against but canā€™t seem to find that information. Do you know which version? Thanks! ---

> [@RobinS](#): > > Do you know which version? Yes, itā€™s WCAG 2.1 Level AA - if you need [this is the certification](https://certifications.onlineada.com/Q1-2025-intellum-evolve-course). Iā€™m not sure why we didnā€™t go for WCAG 2.2 as I _think_ we should be compatibleā€¦ hopefully weā€™ll do so for the next audit. ---

Iā€™ve just had an accessibility review of an evolve file and they have said the confidence slider is not keyboard accessible so needs to be switched to something else. The confidence slider is listed as ā€œaccessibleā€ in Evolve, can you clarify why the discrepancy may have occurred? Thanks. ---

Hi @emherlaar its definitely keyboard operable - can you provide any more details? Is this legacy evolve or new? You can DM me a link to your course if you like Cheers-Sam
