Ally for Web Community Manager HTML Feedback and Guidance

The Ally 1.52 release introduces the first set of feedback and guidance information for HTML specific issues found on your webpages. These feedback flows include guidance for webpages that contain text with insufficient contrast and webpages that contain images that are missing a description. This complements the feedback and guidance that was already available for file content such as PDFs, Word documents and PowerPoint documents.

In future releases additional feedback flows will become available to round out the feedback and guidance available for these types of issues.
