    The purpose of this preference is to ensure alerts are immediately accessible by automatically moving keyboard focus to them when they appear.

    Tableau 1. Preference details
    Detail Description
    Feature Automatically shifts focus to any page alert as soon as it appears.
    Why this feature matters Page alerts often contain critical information such as errors, warnings, or confirmations that users need to act on immediately. Without auto-focus, these alerts can be missed, especially when relying on screen readers or keyboard navigation. Auto-focus ensures alerts are brought to attention instantly, reducing the risk of missed notifications.
    Who benefits
    • Keyboard-only users: focus moves directly to the alert, eliminating multiple tab steps.
    • Screen reader users: alerts become immediately discoverable without extra navigation.
    • Anyone looking to improve speed and reduce errors by prioritizing critical alerts.
