Google Workspace Updates: More control over accessibility preferences in Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drawings

More control over accessibility preferences in Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drawings

понедельник, 15 августа 2022 г.

Quick summaryOver the years, we’ve launched features to support our ongoing accessibility efforts to ensure our products work well for everyone. For users of screen readers, braille devices, screen magnifiers, and more, we're improving the ability to adjust your accessibility preferences for Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drawings separately.
Rather than having the same accessibility settings apply across these products, you’re now able to set preferences for each product individually. We expect this change to make it easier to ensure accessibility settings are personalized to best meet each user’s needs.

Accessibility settings can now be personalized for Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drawings
