Give people a direct way to report a document barrier, then keep the context, owner, status, and resolution together until the issue is closed.
Report an accessibility barrier
Tell the document owner what prevented access. This is feedback, not a formal legal complaint.
Accessible intake captures
Report received
Reference DAF-72B8C14A lets the owner track the submission.
From report to resolution
The reader receives an immediate on-screen confirmation and a reference code without being required to identify themselves.
The workspace sees the document, location, assistive-technology context, contact preference, and full barrier description together.
An editor assigns ownership, updates status, records validation or follow-up, and preserves the resolution date.
Guidance-aligned intake
Section508.gov recommends an easy-to-find, conformant feedback mechanism that collects the issue, location, optional contact details, and assistive-technology context, then assigns a reference and tracks resolution. DocAccessible implements that operational pattern for hosted documents while keeping formal complaint and accommodation processes separate.
Questions
No. The form is clearly presented as accessibility feedback, not a formal legal complaint. Organizations that need a formal Section 508, ADA, grievance, or accommodation process should publish those instructions separately.
The accessibility problem is required. Name, email, document location, browser or assistive technology, and consent to follow up are optional so a reader can report a barrier with less friction.
Each submission receives a reference code and enters the workspace inbox. An editor can assign an owner, move it through new, in review, resolved, or dismissed states, and preserve an internal resolution note.
The hosted-document feedback form and triage inbox are included with Pro and Team. They appear automatically on eligible public and unlisted hosted documents.
