Add or remove content from a tagged region
The Touch Up Reading Order tool always displays as few highlighted regions as possible. If content within a highlighted
region doesn’t flow properly, you may need to split a region to reorder it. Highlighted regions may also contain adjacent
page content that is unrelated or that requires a different tag type. Page content may become orphaned from related
elements, particularly if the content doesn’t fit within a rectangular shape. Use the Touch Up Reading Order tool to add
or remove content from a region, or to split a region to reorder the content.
