# How ADA Protect Works

What ADA Protect adds to your website, and how to choose which accessibility tools and modes visitors can use.

ADA Protect adds an accessibility button to your website. Visitors click it to open a panel of tools that make your site easier to use, like bigger text, higher contrast, a reading guide or text read aloud.

If you don't see **ADA Protect** under **Site Tools**, email <support@agentfire.com> and we'll check it's on for your website.

Go to **Site Tools** > **ADA Protect**. Click **General** on the left.

## Choose the tools visitors see

The **General** tab has a tab for each group in the panel. In each, turn tools on or off. **Show section title** shows or hides that group's heading in the panel.

* **Accessibility modes:** one-click profiles, like **Epilepsy Safe Mode**, **Visually Impaired Mode**, **Cognitive Disability Mode**, **ADHD Friendly Mode** and **Blindness Mode**.
* **Online Dictionary:** a Wikipedia search inside the panel.
* **Readable Experience:** like **Content Scaling**, **Readable Font**, **Dyslexia Friendly**, **Highlight Titles**, **Highlight Links**, **Text Magnifier**, **Font Sizing**, **Line Height** and **Letter Spacing**.
* **Pleasing Experience:** like **Dark Contrast**, **Light Contrast**, **Monochrome**, **High Contrast** and the text, title and background color pickers.
* **Easy Orientation:** like **Mute Sounds**, **Hide Images**, **Virtual Keyboard**, **Reading Guide**, **Reading Mask**, **Stop Animations** and **Big Black Cursor**.
* **Compatibility:** a technical setting. Leave it as it is.
