      Actual Results

      Non-descriptive labels such as "Edit" and "More" are specified for the buttons in the main content area.
      As a result, screen reader user might not understand the purpose of the buttons effectively.

      Expected Results

      The screen reader should announce unique and descriptive labels for the buttons.

      Apply the following changes:

      • Specify the unique and descriptive label for buttons using 'aria-label' attribute.
      • Remove the "title" attribute from the source of the buttons.
