CampusMind
Alpha

In development. Screens can change between releases, and saved work may not carry over.

Tag & caption editor

Correct the tags and alt text CampusMind generated, then revalidate the document.

Remediation gets a document most of the way. This is where a person fixes what automation could not decide.

What alpha means here

  • The interface will change. Screen names, buttons, and the steps below may not match a later release.
  • Saved work may not carry over. Keep your own copy of anything you cannot redo.
  • Not every institution has it yet. The editor is being enabled gradually.
  • This page is still being written. Sections fill in as the editor settles.

Opening the editor

  • On the Document Accessibility Hub, expand a batch and choose the Edit tags and captions icon on any file row.
  • On a document's details page, choose Edit Tags. The remediation report marks anything needing attention as Review required — its Remaining Issues list is the to-do list that brings you here.

What you can change

ChangeWhy you would
Tag typeThe engine read a heading as body text, or a caption as a paragraph. Types are P, H1H6, Figure, Formula, Table, List, LI, Span, Link, and Caption.
Alt textGenerated descriptions are literal by design. A chart described as "a line chart with a downward slope" needs a person to say what it means.

Reading the tag panel

The right-hand panel works one page at a time, listing that page's tags in the order they appear in the document. The header counts them — Page 1 — 19 editable tags, broken down by type (1 H1 · 1 H2 · 17 P) — so a page with far more P tags than headings is easy to spot before you open anything.

On each rowWhat it shows
Type chipThe tag currently assigned — H1, H2, P, and so on
LabelWhat the tag represents, such as Heading text versus Text
Content previewThe element itself — for equations, the spoken form is included, such as reads as "x minus 3 y plus 2 z equals negative 8"

What to look at first

Three things are worth your attention on almost every document: alt text on anything that carries an argument, reading order on multi-column layouts, and contrast failures that live in the source design. What a person decides covers each in detail.

Saving and revalidating

Edits are held locally until you save, so you can work through several and commit them together. Saving creates a new version, and Revalidate re-runs the PDF/UA-1 check against your edited file.

  • Revalidate sits in the toolbar at the top right. The strip at the bottom of the panel shows the outcome — Validated by VeraPDF · 100% compliant when the current version is clean.
  • Discard all, beside it, throws away the edits you are holding without saving them.

There is no approval step

Saving does not mark a document approved, and nothing gates delivery on review — CampusMind has no sign-off action. Remediation's own output is version v1, attributed to System (autotag), and your edits stack on top of it. If your institution needs a documented approval process, that process lives with you. See Version history.

Going back to an earlier version

Choose Version history in the toolbar. The badge beside it names the version you are looking at — v1 for a document no one has edited yet.

  • Remediation's output is stored as v1, attributed to System (autotag).
  • Every save stacks a new version on top, so earlier states remain visible and can be recovered — saving never replaces them.
  • Version history covers what each version records, and the limits of the record.

Getting the file back
