Understanding WCAG 2.2 is the document you actually want to read when you work with the guidelines: for every success criterion it explains the intent, who benefits, and how to meet it. The W3C publishes it as a set of web pages. That works fine at a desk, but not so well on an e-reader, on a plane, or when you want to search the whole thing at once. It really shines as an audit remediation companion. Every finding in a WCAG audit report points at a success criterion. Keep this next to the report, look up each failed criterion, and you know what it requires and how to fix it. So I converted it.
