Sanity accessibility
Sanity accessibility depends on Studio schema design (required alt text on image fields), Portable Text renderers in the consuming front-end, and editorial discipline — the platform itself is headless and accessibility is a function of how the consuming app maps Sanity content to semantic HTML.
What does accessibility mean on Sanity?
Sanity's headless model means accessibility is delivered downstream. The Studio is reasonably accessible; the failure mode is schema design and front-end rendering.
