1.1.0• Accessibility Checker, Dark Mode, class and ID autocomplete
Parcel provides an accessibility checker so you can easily check your email for accessibility issues and best practices. This validation is free - we want to help email developers create better and more accessible emails.
Access the checker from the Dev Tools panel in the bottom of the preview - click the Accessibility tab and then the Check Accessibility button. The checker will evaluate your email and return a list of issues, sorted by severity. Collapse any severity group by clicking on it's header. Click on any issue to be brought to that spot in the code. Under each issue is a longer description that is linked to an external webpage with more information.
The Accessibility tab also provides access to the Headers and Landmarks tools, which highlight the h1-h6 headers and page landmarks in the preview. When enabled, each header or landmark (and any content enclosed) will be highlighted with a colored labeled border. This overlay will not show up in screenshots or affect your output Source.

Preview dark mode is available on the Pro and Business tiers.
Parcel now will autcomplete your class names and IDs using the class names and IDs in your <style> tags.
