-## How it works
+## What Carbon provides
-Tags are used for web content that needs to be labeled, categorized, or
-organized using keywords that describe them. Tags are often used as a filter
-where all tags are in the same color, or used when content is mapped to multiple
-categories, where color is used to differentiate between categories.
+Carbon bakes keyboard operation into its components, improving the experience of
+blind users and others who operate via the keyboard. Carbon incorporates many
+other accessibility considerations, some of which are described below.
-## Accessibility considerations
+### Keyboard interaction
-This component has been validated to meet the
-[WCAG 2.0 AA](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/) and
-[Section 508](http://www.section508.gov/) accessibility guidelines, however
-changes made by the content owner can affect accessibility compliance. Be sure
-to review and follow the guidance in this section when updating or adding new
-content to this component.
+Read-only tags are not in the tab order, are not interactive, and do not receive
+focus.
-1. Be sure the tag text is clear and concise.
-2. Color should not be used as the only means to differentiate tag categories.
-3. When using custom colors be sure the minimum contrast requirements are met.
-4. Tags that are modified as a link to filter content should also follow the
- link Carbon Component guidance.
+Dismissible tags are in the tab order and receive focus around the close icon.
+Pressing `Enter` or `Space` will dismiss the tag. Tabbing away from the tag will
+move focus to the next element in the tab order.

-## Accessibility testing
+Selectable tags are in the tab order and focus is shown around each tag.
+Pressing `Enter` or `Space` toggles the selection on and off.
-Accessibility issues are tracked in the
-[Carbon Component GitHub repository](https://github.com/carbon-design-system/carbon/issues?q=is%3Aopen+label%3A%22type%3A+a11y+%E2%99%BF%22+label%3A%22component%3A+tag%22+)

+Keep this in mind if you’re modifying Carbon or creating a custom component.
+
+- Do not add an `onClick` functionality to the dismissible tag, and only reserve
+ interactions for the close icon in the tag.
+- Do not nest buttons within the operational tag. Consider using the `as` prop
+ to change an element tag to avoid nesting buttons.
