Google Docs/Grackle

Accessibility

Developers will use the Grackle Docs add-on in Google Docs to check the accessibility of any and all documents that will be exported as PDF documents for learner consumption. If developers need to export a PDF from Google Docs, they will do so using the Grackle Docs add-on instead of the native export options found in the File menu in Google Docs.
