Website monitoring
Review website PDF inventory and source changes
Prioritize discovered PDFs, read scan history, handle plan limits, and respond when a public source changes.
- For
- Website accessibility owners and content operators
- Typical time
- 5 minutes per review session
Before you start
- A verified website connection with discovered PDF links
Procedure
Step by step
Open the monitoring inbox
Review PDFs across all connected websites, then filter by source changes, failed checks, manual-review findings, website, or assignee.
Prioritize active PDFs
Plan-eligible discoveries receive active scan slots. Over-limit records remain visible but are not fetched until capacity is available.
Assign and triage bounded work
Select PDFs to assign an owner, acknowledge, snooze, ignore, restore, or queue another check. Conversion and publication are intentionally excluded from bulk actions.
Compare scan evidence
Open History on a PDF and compare two immutable checks to see score movement plus new, persistent, and resolved automated findings.
Respond to alerts and source changes
A changed content hash means the public PDF is different. Assign or acknowledge the alert, then recheck the source and any published alternative before treating the mapping as current.
How capacity works
Website domain and PDF allowances are separate from remediation uploads. If capacity changes, the oldest included domains and PDFs remain active first while excess inventory stays visible and paused.
Safe remote fetching
The worker revalidates redirects, enforces response bounds, validates the PDF signature, scans for malware, and runs automated inspection in a bounded process.
Monitoring policies and alerts
Each website can use a plan-bounded check interval, script-silence window, allowance threshold, and alert recipients. Alerts can be assigned, acknowledged, snoozed, or resolved without automatically converting or republishing content.
Portfolio evidence export
The monitoring inbox exports current automated evidence as CSV for operational reporting. The export states that manual review is still required and must not be presented as a conformance certificate.
