Improvements
Forum Post Updates
Excitingly we have now made some updates to Forums! Users now have the ability to both Edit and Delete their own forum posts. They also have the ability to upload more than one image to forums resulting in the image carousel!
Why this Matters
This is important because employees will have much more control over what they post.
Benefits
- Users now have the safety net of being able to edit posts if they notice a mistake or want to add additional info
- With the ability to post more than one image, users can add even more visuals to their content
- If information becomes irrelevant, users now have more control to remove the item if they no longer wish it to be public
Accessibility Updates
We want to ensure that our application is accessible to all users, and that means making sure that we're catering for tabbing through the application etc. In this sprint we added tabbing to a few more areas of our application.
Why this Matters
Adding tabbing (keyboard navigation using the Tab key) to an application is crucial for accessibility because it ensures that users who cannot use a mouse can still navigate and interact with the interface.
Benefits
- Beneficial for keyboard-only users
- Screen readers require tabbing and it's also important for this to be in a logical order, and clearly highlighted
- Core part of WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines)
