Back arrow to the left of Breadcrumb bar (Universal Theme)

darenjanes Public · Feb 10 2023

Idea Summary

Back arrow on the Breadcrumb Bar as part of the Universal Theme.

Use Case
User Navigation. 

Preferred Solution (Optional)
Using the Breadcrumb data, simply keep an Arrow button there that goes back to parent.

We reviewed this idea carefully, and while it was interesting, we concluded that due to all the internal implications we need to take into account, it is unlikely to make its way into APEX.

    I'm not sure that in this age of web development that such a button is expected by users or even required? On desktop you always have that back arrow in the browser, and in mobile, browsers support swiping back.. one exception I can think of is in a desktop PWA, and in fact, this APEX Ideas app demonstrates - which is why we have a “< Home” link at the top - but this is a customized page template.

    But, in the breadcrumb bar? I think if we supported that easily it'd be akin to a bad practice or bad design pattern perhaps.
