Menu items and screen readers
When reviewing for 508 compliance on Storyline projects, as we use the "tab" key to navigate through the menu items, no matter which menu item it lands on, the screen reader reads “Menu property page outline-container navigation landmark Menu tree view 1 [our project title] visited 1 of 8 level 1.” In other words, it's not really defining the true landmark of the tabbed location. This screenshot shows we are on menu item 6, but it’s still reading “…1 of 8 level 1…"
I don't see that this discrepancy can be solved by changing alt text of the menu. How have you overcome this when editing for 508?

Hi JeremyBirkey!
Sorry to hear you've run into this setback, while compliance testing your Storyline course!
I noticed you've recently reported a similar issue, and were helped by my teammate, Joe. When testing the .story file you shared in this discussion, I had the same experience as he did. When opening this project file, I was also met with an alert indicating the presence of corrupted course elements.
Also, importing the corrupted Slides into a new Storyline course, resulted in blank Slide content.
I see that you previously worked with my other teammate Janina, through a support case. I'd like to reconnect you with our support engineers so they can have a closer look at this issue. I've opened a support case on your behalf, and they should be following up with you shortly!
We can continue the conversation through your case to keep all information in one spot.
