This section gives you step-by-step instructions and best practices to make your documents accessible to people with disabilities. When your documents are accessible, you unlock your content to everyone and people with differing abilities can read your content and work with your files. You learn, for example, how to add alt texts to images so that people using screen readers are able to listen to what the image is all about. You’ll also learn how to use colors and styles to maximize the inclusiveness of your documents before sharing them with others.
