WCAG 2.2

87 criteria

All eighty-seven success criteria, by principle, guideline and level.

The finding. Nine criteria were added in 2.2, and they are overwhelmingly about touch: dragging movements, target size, and three about whether focus can be seen. A standard catching up with an input shift that happened in 2007.
