# Forward

Forward moves the browser one step forward in history, like the browser forward button. Use it after [Back](/test-steps/browser/back.md) when the Flow should return to a page the user had already visited.

## When to use it

* Revisit a detail page after stepping back to a list.
* Continue a multi-page journey that relies on browser history order.
* Prefer [Reload](/test-steps/browser/reload.md) when the current URL should refresh instead of using history.

## Configure

### Basics

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

### Advanced
