# Back link for Stripe Apps

Learn how to help your users navigate back to a previous page.

Allow users to go to a previous page using back links.

## Before you begin

[Create an app](https://docs.stripe.com/stripe-apps/create-app.md).

## Suggested use

- In [full-page apps](https://docs.stripe.com/stripe-apps/patterns/full-page-apps.md), use the `breadcrumbs` prop of [DetailPage](https://docs.stripe.com/stripe-apps/components/detailpage.md) with [route descriptors](https://docs.stripe.com/stripe-apps/route-descriptors.md) instead of a manual back link. Learn more about [routing](https://docs.stripe.com/stripe-apps/routing.md).
- In drawer views, use a [Link](https://docs.stripe.com/stripe-apps/components/link.md) component with an [Icon](https://docs.stripe.com/stripe-apps/components/icon.md) component to add a back link.
- Clearly label where the user is navigating to. For example:
![A back link and arrow to return to previous screen](https://b.stripecdn.com/docs-statics-srv/assets/back-link.4d5f1d9ecc5ff5b94e9973a36115f05a.png)
