Workflow: Resolve an issue

Resolving an issue helps you keep track of your project's progress and improve your compliance score. If an issue continues after the next audit, it will be reopened.

The remediation panel provides a detailed description of each issue, which WCAG clause is related, where in your code to find the issue and suggested code to fix the issue.

You can resolve an issue from any of the following locations:

• Workflow Page
• Audits > Main Page
• Audits > sub page - listed in the left pane
• Audits > Template Page - for template issues only
