Re: is "Back to top" button must for Accessibility/ per WCAG guidelines?

I recently looked at this and currently have it down as "look at more".


Bookmarked these two resources specifically for when I do look at this more, hope they help:

Hey all,

Happy Thursday!

is the "Back to top" button is MUST for accessibility reasons or will it fail, if long pages do not have a "Back to top" button?

Please guide. Very much appreciated your suggestions.

Thank you.
Kiran
