Accessibility Features for Authors

Pressbooks’ administrative interface includes some accessibility features that may help you use Pressbooks more effectively.

Site Map

Pressbooks includes an alternative site map, which is linked to from the footer visible in the user dashboard to all logged in users. The site map offers users an alternative means of navigating the back end of Pressbooks, and will include links to all the pages that you can access from the sidebar menu and top menu.

Pressbooks a11y Color Scheme

If you would prefer an administrative interface with higher color contrast and underlined links, you can enable the Pressbooks a11y color scheme for your account:

  1. On any backend page, hover over your profile picture in the top right corner.
  2. Click Edit Profile.
  3. In the Admin Color Scheme section, select Pressbooks a11y.
  4. Scroll to the bottom and click Update Profile.

This setting only affects the user interface for you. Other authors in your book will still be able to select their own preferred color scheme.
