How to return to your last visited page in Webflow

How to Return to the Last Visited Page in Webflow

Want to let users go back to the page they just came from? Whether you're building breadcrumbs, modals, or "back" links, this lightweight solution gives you full control — without needing a CMS or complex logic.

Perfect for use cases like:

• Multi-step forms
• Documentation or help centers
• Modals or overlays with exit links
• E-commerce product flows

🛠 How It Works

We’re using a simple window.history.back() function that takes the user to the last page they visited — just like the browser’s back button.

‍
1. Create link with class name .return

Add a Link Block or Text Link to your page and give it the class:

.return

This tells the script which element should trigger the back navigation.

‍

2. Add custom code

You can add this code in either in your page or site settings. We recommend putting this in page settings, if we plan to use this in multiple places.

<script>
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $(".return").click(function() {
      window.history.back();
    });
  });
</script>
