Enhancements

AI Remediate optimizations

What is AI Remediate about?

Siteimprove users often spend too much time fixing small bugs and errors, leaving less time to focus on understanding their users and anticipating their needs. AI Remediate streamlines this process by providing AI-tailored recommendations specific to each web page, eliminating the ambiguity of generalized code examples and reducing the time spent researching solutions. By making accessibility issue resolution more efficient, AI Remediate allows users to shift their focus from troubleshooting to delivering a better user experience.

What have we optimized in the functionality?

This update enhances AI Remediate by expanding its ability to additional seven more accessibility issues. To improve the user experience, AI Remediate’s recommendations will now be directly integrated into the Page Report (HTML view), making it easier to access and apply suggested improvements.

The seven additional rules:

1. Title element is empty or consists of whitespace (SIA-R1, A, 2.4.2 Page Titled)
2. The document does not have lang attribute (SIA-R4, A, 3.1.1 Language of page)
3. The document does not have a valid lang attribute (SIA-R5, A, 3.1.1 Language of page)
4. Identical Link name has different resource in the same context (SIA-R81, AAA, 2.4.9 Link Purpose)
5. Identical Link name has different resource (SIA-R41, AAA, 2.4.9 Link Purpose)
6. Form elements do not have accessible names (SIA-R60, Accessibility Best Practice)
7. Region element does not have accessible name (SIA-R40, WAI-ARIA)

Dismissed Broken Links in PDFs feature

What is the Dismissed Links feature about?

The Dismiss Broken Links in PDFs feature gives customers greater flexibility in managing identified broken links within Siteimprove. Now, customers can dismiss links that don’t require immediate action, keeping the Broken Links table clean, relevant, and focused on what truly matters.
 This release extends the same dismiss functionality already available for broken links on web pages, ensuring customers can manage issues more efficiently and with greater precision.

Key Benefits:

• Dismiss false positives – Don’t get blocked by incorrectly flagged broken links
• Delegate links – Remove links assigned to another team, so you can focus on what you need to fix.
• Fixed links – If you’ve repaired a broken link, dismiss it immediately instead of waiting for the next crawl.
• Dismiss unfixable links – Dismiss broken links that are out of your control.

This release empowers you to work smarter, reduce distractions, and manage your PDF content just as efficiently as your websites.

Where is the Dismissed Links feature found?

1. Go to 'Quality Assurance' in the main menu.
2. Click 'Links'.
3. Click 'Broken links in PDFs'.
4. The feature is represented by 3 new tabs as shown in the screenshot below
