Accessibility NextGen

One of the most significant changes is that we re-engineered the core engine to accurately and reliably test against the latest W3C ACT rules.

Switch to NextGen

If you are an Account Owner and have not yet switched to the new version of Accessibility, simply look for the “Switch to NextGen” button on the announcement bar in the accessibility module.

When accounts are switched to NextGen, the old Accessibility version will be removed from the menu item.

Bulk Configuration on Discover Parameters page

We are delighted to present the new option to bulk-track and bulk-ignore parameters on the Discover Parameters page in Analytics. This allows for an easier workflow when you manage your list of Analytics parameters.

Discover Parameters provide you with an overview of which parameters appear on your website. If unconfigured, parameters can result in multiple variations of the same page, which can skew your data.

Tab the “Learn” component in Analytics Setting > Tracking > Discover Parameters to learn more about parameters.
