508 Hyperlinks issuse Nov 21, 2014 By geoff jones Hi Everyone, I've created a lesson that relies on hyperlinks heavily. I need the course to be 508 compliant. After previewing the lesson I noticed that the links were not tab-able, does anyone know a way to make them visible to keyboard navigation? Thanks in advance, Geoff
Amar Kulshreshtha over 9 years ago11/27/14 at 10:23 am (UTC) Hi Geoff, For 508 compliant course, keyboard accessibility you need to create hotspot for each hyperlink. Check below attachment i hope it will help you. 508_Course.story

Mary Ann Artz over 6 years ago08/24/17 at 7:26 pm (UTC) I've read elsewhere, though, that Storyline 2 hotspots are not 508 compliant and must be replaced with transparent rectangles. Is that true?

Your question makes me think of this exact post, but perhaps it is the one you saw as well :) Mat outlines a lot of details related to accessibility here and is much better versed than I. To directly answer your question, yes, that's true.
