SharePoint: Accessibility Improvements to Page Authoring

To support accessibility best practices, we’ve made some improvements to the Page
authoring experience.

1 – Added functionality to mark images as decorative. Decorative images will be ignored by assistive technology, including screen readers. This addition has been made to the following: background image of the Title Region, images added inline with the Text Web Part, Image Web Part, Image Gallery, Hero, Call to Action, and Quick Links.

2 – Changed the heading level 1 to be reserved for the page title in the title area. Headings can still be added to a page at levels 2-4 using the web parts. This makes it easier for users of screen readers to understand how your page is structured.
