Accessibility and usability barriers 

The following barriers were identified through testing a select number of pages and tasks in SharePoint. Please note this is not an exhaustive list of the barriers a user may encounter in SharePoint.

Screen reader barriers

Some SharePoint content may be difficult or tedious to navigate through when using a screen reader, due to content that is not announced as expected and/or that requires the user to navigate using the left and right arrow keys. These navigation barriers were encountered when testing the following pages/components:

• Documents list within any SharePoint site

• Search results page(s) and page navigation controls

• Site cards, such as the cards listed under “Frequent sites” on the SharePoint start page

Magnification and reflow barriers

The Documents list within any SharePoint site cannot be viewed at 300% magnification or higher, due to several fixed elements that take up most of the visible page space.
