Accessibility Issue With Article Scroller - No Accessible Label On Navigation Links

Hello,

I’ve run into an accessibility issue with the Article Scroller addon in SP Page Builder. The previous and next navigation buttons (.bx-prev and .bx-next) are generated without any accessible text or labels. This results in the following accessibility error:

Error: Link has no accessible name Fix: Add a descriptive text or aria-label for screen readers.

Since the buttons only contain an icon (e.g., <i class="fa fa-angle-left">), screen readers cannot interpret their purpose. I need to comply with WCAG 2.1 (e.g., criterion 2.4.4 – Link Purpose), but there seems to be no way to configure or override this from within the SP Page Builder UI.

❓ Is there an officially recommended way to make the Article Scroller navigation buttons accessible?

I could add aria-label using JavaScript, but I’d prefer a cleaner, update-proof solution (template override or hidden label, if supported).

Any best practices, workarounds, or updates on accessibility support in SP Page Builder would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
