Slide layers not reading in correct order with screen reader

Hello Bonnie!

I'm happy to help! It sounds like the focus stays on the Close button when navigating away from the layer. This often is a change made with the Slide Properties!

I'd recommend using this setup in this screenshot to achieve the behavior you're looking for. If this doesn't do the trick, do you mind sharing your file with me? You can attach it to this discussion or upload it to me privately using my direct link.
