WCAG 3.0 is an active W3C Working Draft in development by the AGWG. Requirements, assertions, the conformance model and reporting tiers are still being developed and may change. The latest published draft is the 10 September 2026 Working Draft; this site follows the editors’ draft, which also includes exploratory provisions.
An organisational assertion: the organisation states that it has a process and policy for finding complex ideas in its text - processes, workflows, relationships, chronology - and adding visual aids to help readers understand them.
Why It Matters
Some relationships are far easier to see than to read. A diagram is often the difference between a process being followable and being merely described.
