# Navigate Back

This is a pre-built Action located under the **@Browser Element**. The functionality of this Action in Avo Assure is to navigate back to the last visited page. The result of this Action is stored in a dynamic variable for further use during test execution.

## **Syntax**

**Input Value**: `N/A`

<table><thead><tr><th>Argument</th><th>Description</th><th data-hidden></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>N/A</td><td>Not Applicable</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

**Output Value**: `<Dynamic Variable>(Optional);<Dynamic Variable>(Optional)`

<table><thead><tr><th>Argument</th><th>Description</th><th data-hidden></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>&#x3C;Dynamic Variable>(Optional);&#x3C;Dynamic Variable>(Optional)</td><td>Both dynamic variable stores the status as <strong>True</strong> or <strong>False</strong>.</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

### Example: Navigating Back to the Previously Visited Page

In this example, we explain how to navigate the browser to the previously visited page in the current session history using the **Navigate Back** action.

* **Action**: Navigate Back
* **Input Value**: N/A
  * This action does not require any input value. It automatically navigates the active browser window to the previous page in the browsing history.
* **Output Value**: {Navigate}
  * The result of the navigation is stored in this **{Navigate}** dynamic variable with the following possible values:
    * **True**: If the browser navigates back successfully.
    * **False**: If the navigation fails.
* **Logical Explanation**: The **Navigate Back** action instructs the browser to return to the last visited page in the current session history. After execution, the result of this navigation is stored in the **{Navigate}** variable as true.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.avoautomation.com/avo-assure/actions/web/browser/navigate-back-1.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
