Does it matter which one I use first?
We highly recommend using Pope Tech Instructor Accessibility guide first. Most Canvas-related issues can be resolved more easily with Pope Tech. Additionally, using Pope Tech before Ally to add image descriptions can help you avoid one potential issue in Ally. After you've cleaned up errors with Pope Tech, then use Ally to address document issues with your PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, etc.
