aria-relevant

Token list

Specifies which kinds of changes within a live region are worth announcing — additions, removals, text, or all. The default, 'additions text', announces added nodes and text changes but not removals. It's an optional refinement of aria-live that screen readers honor inconsistently, so rely on it lightly.

Values
additions
Announce nodes added to the live region.
removals
Announce nodes removed from the live region.
text
Announce text changes within the live region.
additions text (default)
Announce additions and text changes.
all
Announce additions, removals, and text changes.
Used on
Any HTML element — aria-relevant is a global property.
Associated roles
Every ARIA role. As a global property, aria-relevant is supported on all roles.
Example
aria-relevant="…"
<ul aria-live="polite" aria-relevant="additions">…</ul>
