Summary: Intelligent navigation back through where a user has come from

Contents

Design

  • Only provide a finite set of links, otherwise the navigation can get crowded.
  • Breadcrumbs needn't simply be a history of URLs. It can be better to create links back to sections and sub-sections where the user has been, or perhaps the last page in a section that they visited, as opposed to all the pages they've visited.

When Used

Rationale

  • Users may meander through a site, don't let them get lost.
