Settings and Rule Sets

Settings live under PC Designs, then Accessibility Assistant, then Settings. This is where you tune what editors see in the builder and how scanning behaves.

Builder panel

Turn the in-builder Accessibility panel on or off per site. When it is on, it loads on Divi 4 and Divi 5 builder screens.

Rule set

Choose which rules the scan runs against:

  • WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA (recommended)
  • WCAG 2.2 (2.1 plus additional checks)
  • All axe rules (adds best-practice and experimental checks)

Re-scan on change

Turn on Watch mode so the panel re-runs the scan automatically when the preview content changes while you edit.

Focus outline CSS

Toggle the visible focus-ring helper in the preview.

Excluded rules

Add a comma-separated list of axe rule IDs to leave out when a check is too noisy for your workflow.

Tip

Start on WCAG 2.1 A and AA. It is the widely referenced baseline. Move to 2.2 or All axe rules once your pages are clean and you want to go further.
