Expected behavior
Resolution
The Checked or Not Checked announcement is only for the checkbox content of the list item (row). Users can select any checkbox items to export.
The Selected or Not Selected announcement is for the list item (row). Once the list item (row) is in focus, users can move this selected item up or down to change the display sequence.
