I walk through Tableau Cloud's accessibility settings in the web authoring experience, showing how keyboard navigation and assistive technology let you select pills via the context menu and drop them into zones. I recommend everyone try authoring with these settings on at least once.

## Key takeaways

- Tableau Cloud's accessibility settings live in the web authoring experience and let you control the interface entirely via keyboard and assistive technology
- You can navigate to a pill and use the context menu to drop it into a drop zone without a mouse
- Pairing the accessibility settings with screen readers reveals how much of the Tableau product genuinely supports assistive workflows
- The keyboard shortcuts aren't just for people who need them — power users rely on them to work faster, so they benefit everyone
