Content must not be locked to a single display orientation unless essential.

How to meet it

How AccessScan checks this

This criterion needs a rendered page or human judgement (for example colour contrast, focus visibility, or media review), so it’s part of manual testing and our upcoming deep scan rather than the free static scan.
