Use the back arrow without fear
Exactly what the back arrow undoes, and what it leaves alone.
The back arrow returns you to the page you were on a moment ago. It retraces your steps, one at a time.
It undoes where you went, never what you did. A payment already sent stays sent.
Key points
- The back arrow returns you one page, and it is always safe
- It never undoes a payment, a message or a form you sent
What to remember
- Back is the safest button in a browser.
- Back undoes where you are, never what you did.
Try this
Press a link on any page, then the back arrow at the top left. The page returns as it was.
