Built-In Tools

Use built-in tools and features to make your content accessible. Many platforms and software (Microsoft Office, Brightspace, Canvas, WordPress, Pressbooks) include straightforward tools to make accessible content. Remember to:

• Use built-in tools for tables, lists, links, and styles
• Use templates
• Use accessibility checkers

By using tools, templates, checkers, and the best practices and tools introduced in this guide, you can create accessible content that includes everyone at the same time.

The following chapters will focus on specific software and content management systems, expanding on the core principles of accessibility while providing platform-specific instructions.
