What Happens When You Click 'Fix'

A technical deep-dive into document remediation and the surrogate semantic model.

01

The Surrogate Semantic Model

Google Docs does not natively support professional accessibility properties like semantic table headers. Inkable Docs remediates this by maintaining a Surrogate Semantic Model.

How it works:

Fixes are stored as hidden metadata properties within your document. These properties are injected at export time into the tagged PDF structure tree. They do not change the visual appearance or native properties of your Google Doc.

Reversibility

Are changes permanent?

Most remediation actions are additive metadata. If you delete an image or table, its associated metadata is automatically cleaned up during the next Recheck scan.

How do I revert a fix?

For direct document edits, use standard Ctrl+Z or Version History. For metadata, run a new scan and apply updates as needed.
