Hi, all. I'm using Mac Ventura on my M1 Mac Mini. When I find an app in the app store, the only thing I can interact with is the get/buy button. How do I go to the app description? TIA

I found an app, interacted with it, go to the right, it should say preview, description, then interact yet again to figure out if you want to buy it. If yes, then go back left, press voice over space and it should alert you and touch ID. If you want help, contact me and I'll facetime audio you to try to help.

Thanks, Siobhan. Unfortunately when I interact with the app listing, I only find the buy, get, or open button. There is no preview or description.

To access the product page for an app, locate the app link and route the mouse pointer to it by pressing VO-Command-F5, (or VO-Globe-Command-5 if you're using a Mac with a Touch Bar) and press VO-Shift-Space to click the mouse.

I kinda wish there was a more direct way to do that, but at least it works. Thanks.
