- Use your screen reader’s list headings feature to navigate through the headings within the content of a page.
- Use the “Previous Section” and “Next Section” links found at the bottom of each page to navigate through the sequence of pages. To access these links most easily, use your screen reader’s landmarks list to jump to the navigation region, then press Tab and Shift-Tab to move between the next and previous links.
