Step-by-step Tutorial

Follow these steps to disable the ShortPoint Accessibility on a SharePoint site:

Step 1: Launch ShortPoint Theme Builder

• Open a page within the SharePoint site collection where you do not want the accessibility widget to appear.
• Access ShortPoint Theme Builder in two ways: [1] Click the ShortPoint shortcut on your command bar and select Theme Builder, or [2] Navigate to the ShortPoint Dashboard from Site Contents then select Theme Builder.

Step 2: Navigate to the Theme Builder Utilities options

• On the Theme Builder main menu, scroll down and select Utilities.

• Open Custom Javascript.

Step 3: Copy and paste Javascript code

We will be using Javascript code to prevent the ShortPoint Accessibility widget from loading on the site. Here is the code:

// Disable accessibility widget on this site
localStorage.setItem("spDisableAccessibilityOn_" + window.shortpoint_spPageContextInfo.siteAbsoluteUrl, 1);

To enable it again you just need to change "setItem" to "removeItem" in the code snippet.

localStorage.removeItem("spDisableAccessibilityOn_" + window.shortpoint_spPageContextInfo.siteAbsoluteUrl, 1);

• Copy the code and paste it into the custom Javascript field.

• Hit Apply.

Step 4: Publish changes

• Once done, hit Publish.

That’s it! The ShortPoint Accessibility widget will no longer appear on all pages of the Site Collection.
