This page gathers the IT Subcommittee's resources and reviews of the accessibility of Manifold. This page will be updated as new information is available or further reviews are conducted.

Accessibility Overview

Manifold is a platform for publishing books online that can be locally installed or hosted through Manifold. For our testing, we used the University of Washington's instance. As with PressBooks, the final accessibility of a published book relies on the author to use accessibility best practices.

General Information

Known Accessibility Issues

Keyboard Control

The keyboard shortcuts listed on the Accessibility page are standard keyboard navigation shortcuts. Manifold does not have any action-specific keyboard commands; however, Manifold does offer alternatives for drag-and-drop actions. If you use Manifold to host video (rather than embedding YouTube or Vimeo videos), there is no way to use the keyboard to access that video.
