## Accessibility information

Review details on accessibility information for DevOps Change Velocity, such as specific requirements or compliance levels.  
{#dfrn3-devopschangevelocity-summary__entry__66}

| Release | Release notes |
|-|-|
| Xanadu | Accessibility improvements :   Accessibility improvements were completed to create a configurable workspace that supports WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance. Reflow :   The Configurable Workspace supports reflow, which enables pages and content to be zoomed up to 400% through your browser settings without loss of content or functionality. Additionally, content can be enlarged without scrolling in two dimensions at a width equivalent to 320 CSS pixels or a height equivalent to 256 CSS pixels. Page layouts are transformed into a vertical, stacked view automatically when users increase browser zoom to 400%. :   This enhancement helps users with low vision or who have trouble seeing web content in a browser due to monitor size, device type, poor lighting, or other situations. Reflow can be turned off with a system property for instances, experiences, and pages. See [Reflow for Configurable Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=auto-reflow&family=xanadu&ft:locale=en-US) for details. |
| Yokohama | No updates for this release. |
| Zurich | Accessibility information : Dark theme :   The new Coral theme includes a dark theme option for web and mobile experiences. This option is commonly used to alleviate eye strain and improve readability. |
