# Back

The **Back** component creates a button used to navigate away from the current page. Depending on how the page is configured, this button redirects the user to:

- The previous page visited (*Back*). Clicking the left arrow :mdiArrowLeft: navigates to the last visited page.
- The parent page (*Up*). Clicking the left arrow :mdiArrowLeft: navigates up one level in the application hierarchy to the parent of the current page.

The back button can also be hidden. On pages at the top-level whose parent is *Home* or pages with no page history, the back button is automatically hidden.

> [!tip]
> To add a back button, you can create a [master layout](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/use-a-master-layout.html "Use a master layout") that includes a **Back** component in the header, and associate it with the page.
