What we've been building.
The calmer design now covers the whole app: settings, audit results, walkthroughs, asset details, dialogs, notifications, the messenger, and sign-in all share the same quiet frame. Pop-up toast messages are gone, with feedback now appearing inline, right where you are working. Audit checks are organised as a clear board with To do and Complete columns, so progress through a surface is obvious at a glance.
Another accessibility pass across the redesigned pages: controls now announce exactly the words you see on screen, board columns read as proper lists with headings, open dialogs correctly hide the page behind them from assistive technology, and every ticket view now shows the WCAG criterion it relates to.
The calmer design introduced on the home screen now extends across the app. The audit index, the tickets page, and the statement editor all share the same quiet frame: filters collapse out of the way, status pills are cleaner and consistent, the statement preview folds down until you need it, and the publish action stands out clearly. The separate classic tickets view has been retired.
Accessible names now match visible labels throughout the redesigned pages, progress indicators and the resolved-tickets rail announce themselves properly, decorative separators are hidden from assistive technology, and the public statement URL field is correctly labelled.
Every ticket can now generate a ready-to-share fix brief for your development team or coding tools: technology-agnostic, deduplicated, and complete with your product context, the requirement involved, and a link to its plain-English explanation. Tickets also now show the walkthrough context they were raised from, so developers see exactly where the issue was found.
Home now opens with a centred greeting and shows only what needs your attention: time-sensitive alerts on a single line, and a personal "where you were" block that takes you straight back to your own in-progress work. Quiet days simply say all quiet instead of inventing activity.
Required fields in the statement editor are now clearly marked, and the publish button lists exactly what is missing, with each item linking straight to where you fix it. Response time commitment is now editable alongside your other product details, and citation text on published statements renders correctly for every jurisdiction.
Screens that were added to your audit automatically now carry an Auto-mapped badge, and the screen grid shows a banner prompting you to review those drafts, so it is always clear what a person on your team has verified.
Menu buttons now announce their visible text to screen readers, and closed menus and popovers no longer leave behind stale references that could confuse assistive technology.
Walkthrough questions can now include a "Learn more about this requirement" link below the testing guidance, opening a plain-English explanation of the requirement being tested in a new tab.
