Description

📌Feature Improvement: Enhance Back Button UX

Currently, the Back button redirects users to the Home page. I would like to propose an improvement where clicking the Back button takes the user to the previous page using browser history (navigate(-1)), which provides a more natural and user-friendly navigation experience.

Why This Improvement?

  • Better UX when users come from pages like History or Dynamic.
  • Aligns with typical “Back” behavior in web apps.
  • Does not affect existing routes or features.

Research direction
Locate the Back button component and change its onClick handler from navigating to home to using window.history.back() or React Router's useNavigate( 1).
