It also shows remaining issues and how many pieces of content are affected by the issue (ex. the image has contrast issues, and there are 3 pieces of content affected by this issue).

3. To view every piece of content's individual accessibility score, click View under All Course Content. You can then view an individual piece of content by clicking on it.
