Use this article to understand what the Back button block does on a myflow app page, why it has no destination field, and how it differs from the standard Button block in the myflow page builder.

The Back button block in myflow is an app-only block that sends the visitor to the view they came from, in the same way a web browser's back button does. When someone taps a Back button on a myflow app page, they return to whichever app page or content page they were on immediately before. The Back button block always follows the visitor's own navigation path, so where it leads depends on the route each visitor took through your app.

The Back button block in the myflow app has no destination field, and it does not need one. Because the Back button always returns the visitor to the page they came from, there is nothing to point it at — no Link type, page, or URL field appears in its settings. If you are looking for a field to enter a destination into, that field is absent by design on the myflow Back button block, rather than a setting you are missing.

The Back button block and the standard Button block are two separate blocks in the myflow page builder, and only the standard Button block has a destination you choose. The two blocks compare as follows:

If you want a button that always leads to one specific place, use the standard Button block in the myflow page builder and set its Link type. If you want a button that takes the visitor one step back, use the Back button block.

To add a Back button block to a page in your myflow app:

The app page now shows a Back button that returns visitors to the view they came from, with no further configuration needed

💡 Note: In the myflow page builder, blocks that can be shown in your app are marked with a phone icon.
