Directional terms like above, below, left, and right, are not always the most accurate way to describe content. For example, instead of saying “see the information below” you can say “see the [section name] on this page for details.”

Please review your content and edit these terms as necessary. If your page is using these phrases in a sentence and not as a direction, you don’t need to make changes. However, if you are using these terms as a direction, for example “see video below,” then edit the page accordingly. For tips, review the Table of Suggested Terms in the next section.
