Browse micro experience

We made an adjustment to prevent errors from happening on the Browse micro experience pages.

Findability enhancements

  • We added a new component to our tax product landing pages so you can find help specific to the return type you're working on, like 1040, 1120, 1065. This refined focus further narrows your content.
  • We added the ability to assign metadata to certain pages (like the Alerts and Notices pages) so these pages can be found in your search results.

Readability enhancements

  • We removed the "Was this helpful" question because it... wasn't helpful. You'll be able to provide us with feedback in a different way in an upcoming release.
  • We fixed an accessibility issue where the label for certain notes and examples wasn't announced when using a screen reader.
  • On articles with accordions, we fixed an issue where the accordions would jump around when selected. Accordions can help simplify the page, lowering users' cognitive load and allowing them to concentrate on the information immediately at hand.
  • We fixed an issue where the page broke if the video player was re-sized to be full screen.

Behind the scenes updates

  • We addressed some edge cases for internal agent authentication in Help and Support so that the right people see the right content.
  • We upgraded the back-end content management system version.
  • We were seeing a lot of errors being logged by our monitoring systems, so we investigated why that was happening.
  • We did some work in preparation for an upcoming feature.
