# Overview module {#overview-module}

Open the **Accessibility** module in the TYPO3 backend. On TYPO3 13 it is below
**Web**, on TYPO3 14 below **Content**.

## Content scan and Frontend scan {#content-scan-and-frontend-scan}

The overview has two tabs:

-   ****Content scan****

    Findings produced by the local rules (`rte.*`, `structured.*`) and by
    the rendered page check (`rendered.*`). Available in all editions.

-   ****Frontend scan****

    Findings produced by the hosted browser crawler. Shows the Free Remote
    Preview status in the Free edition and the full scan history with an active
    licence. See [Frontend scans (remote crawler)](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/priebera/typo3-a11y-quality-gate:usage-remote-scans@main).

Both tabs offer filtering by site, language, status and severity, a search over
pages, and paging. New findings compared to the previous scan are marked as
*new*.

## Actions {#actions}

-   ****Scan site****

    Scans the whole page tree of the selected site: the local rules for every
    page, plus the rendered page check for the supported frontend pages of that
    subtree. Can be hidden for non-administrators with the TSconfig option
    [options.a11y_quality_gate.showScanAll](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/priebera/typo3-a11y-quality-gate:confval-options-a11y-quality-gate-showscanall@main).

-   ****Scan this page****

    Scans a single page with the local rules and the rendered page check, see
    [Rendered page checks](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/priebera/typo3-a11y-quality-gate:usage-rendered-checks@main). Can be hidden for non-administrators with
    [options.a11y_quality_gate.showScanNow](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/priebera/typo3-a11y-quality-gate:confval-options-a11y-quality-gate-showscannow@main).

-   ****Settings****

    Opens the configuration described in [Configuration](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/priebera/typo3-a11y-quality-gate:configuration@main).

Export buttons produce CSV of local findings in all editions. CSV of frontend
scan results and PDF of either require an active licence, see
[Reports and exports](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/priebera/typo3-a11y-quality-gate:usage-reports@main).

## Toolbar item and page module indicator {#toolbar-item-and-page-module-indicator}

AQG also adds an item to the backend toolbar that shows the accessibility state
of the current page and offers a direct scan. It can be hidden for
non-administrators with
[options.a11y_quality_gate.showToolbarItem](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/priebera/typo3-a11y-quality-gate:confval-options-a11y-quality-gate-showtoolbaritem@main).

In the **Page** module, an indicator on content elements links directly
to the findings of that element.
