Scanning

Scanning in the editor

In Free, the Block Editor sidebar shows the saved full-site scan result for the current post or page and can check the page again with Rescan. It does not start a scan when you save. Pro adds an automatic check on Save and Publish.

Block Editor sidebar

While editing a post or page, open the AcceGuru panel from the editor's top-right plugin menu (the eye icon).

Until a result exists, the panel shows "No scan data yet. Select Rescan to check this page." When results are available, it shows:

  • the page title under Current scan, with a summary of issues and manual checks;
  • issues grouped by severity; Show in editor highlights an issue in the editor;
  • manual checks, listed apart from confirmed issues;
  • Rescan checks the page now, and View post on front-end opens the live page.

A Rescan result stays in the editor and is not written into the full-site results.

With PRO, you can dismiss individual issues from the sidebar, and a Reviewed tab shows those decisions.

A front-end page with the AcceGuru panel open on the right, showing the page title, 2 issues and 0 manual checks, a rescan button, and the issues grouped by severity: one serious and one moderate Links and Navigation group, each with a count and an expand arrow.
The scanner panel open beside a page: issue counts, a rescan button, and issues grouped by severity and topic.

Front-end highlighter

On the front end, logged-in users who can edit posts see an AcceGuru button in the top admin bar (tooltip: "Run accessibility scan on this page"). Click it to scan the page you are viewing - the button reads "Scanning..." while it runs - then issues are marked directly on the rendered page. A floating round launcher button in a screen corner is also available, and can be repositioned or turned off in Settings.

Scan on save / publish PRO

PRO feature

In Pro, after each manual Save or Publish, the AcceGuru: Content check panel in the document settings checks the content area of the real page. The result stays in that panel and is not saved, so the count may differ from a full-page scan.
