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. Go to Users > Your Profile from the left sidebar menu, or click on your name in the top right corner of your screen
2. On the Profile page, find the Admin Color Scheme setting and select Pressbooks a11y 
3. Click Update Profile at the bottom of the screen

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