Issue statuses and history

Each issue is one failing WCAG rule across your site. After every check:

• A rule that newly fails opens an issue.
• An open or in-progress issue the check no longer finds is marked fixed.
• A fixed issue that comes back is reopened.
• An issue marked won’t fix stays that way; its counts keep updating.

You can change a status on the issue’s page. Won’t fix needs a reason, so the decision is on record. Every change appears in the issue’s history with who made it and when.

Note: if a page with an issue isn’t reached in a check (for example because of the page limit), the issue may be marked fixed. Raise the page limit or add the page to your include rules.
