Buttons to go back a page

[tiffany-tang]

When I am navigating through the different pages of the web-app,
I would like to be able to return to the previous page
So I can refer back/change what I have previously inputted.

Acceptance Criteria

• To have a button to return to the previous page e.g. "Back"

@tiffany-tang The note from user research is super interesting!

All the emotion-logging pages will have a 'Go' style button to move users through the flow. Are there any other pages that you see having a need for this?
For example, I'm not sure it would make sense on a calendar page (the action here is 'Share with Trusted Adult') or on the coping toolbox page for now.

In terms of the back button, did this come up as a requirement in your previous user testing specifically? If not, as this is a web app, the browser's natural back button will still appear (and Android phones often have a back button built into the phone itself) so I would be very curious to see if users make use of these pre-existing phone capabilities (as naturally super users of mobile devices!).
In this vein, I would recommend that unless it's a firm requirement at this stage, we split it out into its own separate 'Back button' issue as a priority-4, which we can up the priority on depending on the results of your user testing.

@iteles it was something that came up from user research on the original wireframe, which did not feature the back button.

I agree perhaps for now we can make use of the phones pre-existing functions but see how users react to it during testing.

@iteles Further thought on this, a back button will be important if we're trying to emulate this as an app.
