# Breadcrumb navigation

Contents

Breadcrumb navigation lets you see where in the hierarchy of the GUI you currently are.

Navigating between pages is now tracked by breadcrumbs. The breadcrumb path is shown at the upper-left of the page.

Breadcrumbs display a path shows you how you arrived at the current page. Breadcrumb navigation is reset when selecting a link from the Menu, or when selecting an item from the Resources tree view pane.

If you create a cycle, the breadcrumbs will automatically slice up to the current location, preventing an unnecessary build-up of items. Another key feature of this feature is that it always has a starting point of reference. If you drill down to a target and then refresh the page, the target will now be the only item in the breadcrumb list, because the page will start at that location.

If you click the Back button and the browser indicates that it is going to a previous page not in the breadcrumbs list, the new page will act as the starting breadcrumb location. This prevents a "reverse build-up" of breadcrumbs.
