    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Create a tab index that allows user to use the keyboard to move through menu options without getting stuck, as happens with 2.10.3 and it looks like, 3.2.1.

      See http://www.w3.org/WAI/wcag-curric/tabindex.htm for more, or, I'm not an expert on this, may require ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) markup; http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria.

      My test method was using Tab to navigate the page in 3.2.1, and testing 2.10.3 with a person who is blind.

            What is the status of this issue? Does Atlassian plan to make Confluence 508 compliant?

            For years now the 508 Compliance issue has been causing U.S. Government agencies to resist using Confluence wiki and Jira. When can we expect the vendor to address Section 508 Compliance?

            Hi Dan, we are currently working on some major improvements in terms of keyboard acessibility in an upcoming version of Confluence, so hopefully there will be some good news in this area soon.

            Joe.
