# Back

Back moves the browser one step back in history, like the browser back button. Use it when the Flow should return to a previous page without reloading the current URL.

## When to use it

* Return to a list page after viewing a detail page opened from it.
* Undo a navigation step and confirm the earlier page still shows expected state.
* Prefer [Reload](/test-steps/browser/reload.md) when the same URL should refresh instead of using history.

## Configure

### Basics

This step has no required fields. It navigates back in browser history.

### Advanced
