The conductor provides a checklist for a complete manual peer review, but many of the categories can be done using a software bot that is under construction. If you select Accessibility Check in the Project Ribbon
you will move to the Accessibility Check Page. The top of the Accessiblity Check Page is a Discussion area which is similar to the others in each LibreTexts Project Page
the bottom is the Accessibility Complicance Review Matrix which has 35 checks for each page
