Manage muted rules and interpret coverage
Understand what you have chosen to hide or exclude.

What to know
Muted rules and coverage settings affect how you interpret a project’s reports. A muted item is not automatically fixed, and a remediation report is distinct from evidence that every page is accessible.
What to do
- Open the project’s Muted rules panel to review the rules currently muted.
- Check why each rule was muted before changing it. Ask a developer to verify an apparent false positive.
- Use Coverage and Remediation report panels when available for the website’s license.
- Keep a record of source-code changes and human testing alongside automated evidence.
What happens next
Coverage explains what the tool reached and what it did not. Proof-of-effort records describe work performed, not a promise that no barriers remain.
If you need more help
If a panel requires a license or a higher permission, follow the account notice. Do not mute a valid barrier solely to improve the appearance of a report.
