Accessibility evidence pack

Keep a dated record of scans, fixes and the work still open.

ClearSite turns saved scan history into a downloadable PDF. It separates fixes verified by re-scan from work that has only been marked complete, then shows the latest outstanding findings.

Create the first baselineThe first page scan is free. PDF evidence packs are a paid-plan feature.

What the PDF records

Scan history, verified fixes and current outstanding findings.

The export is generated from the same saved scan and issue-resolution records used by ClearSite. It is a traceable work record, not a decorative badge.

Scan history

The date, score and total, critical and serious finding counts for each recorded scan of the same URL.

Verified fixes

Findings marked resolved and then cleared by a later automated re-scan, with the verification date and evidence scan ID.

Work awaiting verification

Items marked resolved, not yet verified by a later scan, kept separate from fixes with re-scan evidence.

Current outstanding findings

The latest automated issue totals and the leading unresolved findings, so the record does not hide the remaining work.

The evidence loop

Baseline, repair, verify, export.

  1. 01

    Create a baseline

    Run the first saved scan for a signed-in site owner. This gives later results a dated comparison point.

  2. 02

    Record the repair

    Mark an issue resolved after changing the page, theme, component or integration that produced it.

  3. 03

    Re-scan the same URL

    ClearSite checks whether the associated automated rule still reports a failure and records the new result.

  4. 04

    Download the PDF

    Paid accounts can export the scan history, verification states and current outstanding findings from the site report.

A useful distinction

Evidence of activity is not a conformance claim.

A ClearSite evidence pack documents automated checks and remediation activity over time. It does not certify accessibility or determine compliance with WCAG, the EAA, the ADA or another legal requirement.

A full conformance evaluation has a broader job. W3C's recommended evaluation-report structure includes the review scope, evaluator, review process, results and recommended actions. That work can include pages, user journeys and checks that automation cannot judge.

Use the PDF to support an audit trail and handover. Add keyboard, screen-reader and other human review when the question depends on real use, context or legal scope.

Verified means the associated automated rule cleared on a later scan. It does not mean every accessibility barrier has been removed.

Start the record with one real result.

Run a free page scan, fix what you can, and re-scan before deciding whether ongoing evidence belongs in your workflow.
