Introduction
The Monsido scan is a powerful tool that scans all pages of a website. With Scan documents selected, Monsido also scans documents on the website. The document scan identifies all of the same types of issues as a domain scan.
Turn on Document Scanning
From the Monsido Domain Overview (globe icon), click Settings (gear icon) at the top of the page. The Admin Settings page opens.
Note: The Settings button is only available to site admins.
On the same row as the domain to scan, click Action.
In the drop-down list, select Edit Domain.
The Edit Domain page opens.
In the Features section:
Toggle Scan documents to ON.
Save the changes.
Documents are included in the next scan.
Note: Documents that are generated with .aspx are treated in the same way. Keep in mind that PDF documents are scanned with our external service.
