We recommend gathering all responses prior to accessing and entering data into the reporting tool. This will ease your reporting entity’s ability to start at the beginning of the reporting tool and answer questions in order. We encourage reporting entities to use the <a href="https://assets.section508.gov/files/reports/FY-24%20Government-wide%20Section%20508%20Assessment%20Criteria.xlsx">Assessment spreadsheet (XLSX)</a> to gather responses.

Within this submission response tool, your data is saved automatically—provided you use the same device and same browser—and you may return to the submission tool to continue entering information as many times as you need. You may navigate to different sections of the Assessment Criteria using the Table of Contents, Previous button or Next button. However, once you enter a section, you must answer all required criteria on the screen before moving to another section using the Table of Contents. You can use the Previous button to navigate backwards without answering all required questions on screen, but you cannot use the "Next" button within a section to skip questions without inputting an answer.
