Hi Patrick,

However, it seems there is no go back button.

See the arrow in the resource's toolbar

Many times I jump to a certain reference and want to go back again.

Patrick, you may want to open another copy of your resource and have links directed there by using Send Hyperlinks here . This will save you time and let you still see your original place in your resource.

You can also look at your history.

Tools > History

Or Ctrl+H.

I can only surmise that Logos has deliberately decided not to include them for some bizarre and incomprehensible reason.

I would surmise that it's more likely that one or more of the following factors explain why it hasn't been put back in yet:

1. They may have overlooked your complaint about it from a year ago, and perhaps even other posts where you've mentioned it again since; they do try to monitor the forums but the volume of posts here is enormous and they do sometimes miss some.
2. They have several hundred (or more) other features and enhancements and performance improvements they've been wanting to do, and perhaps your request is on the list somewhere but they just haven't gotten around to it yet; they've been pretty busy with things that take more concentrated effort.
3. Not enough other people besides you have been jumping up and down about this, so perhaps it isn't (yet) a very high priority for them, even if it would be trivial to implement. They aren't averse to doing it but just need enough of a reason to put off things that more people might be waiting for

I know you're not going to like this, but the way to get all three of those addressed in one fell swoop is to put your request on UserVoice and try to get lots of other people to vote for it.

Yes, the back and forward buttons exist, but the extremely important back history and forward history buttons do not...an oversight about which I have complained on many occasions. Specifically, I am referring to these drop-down menus that list up to ten previous forward and back page views.

I use those a lot in Safari, so I could certainly use them in Logos as well! [Y] (So far, though, I've been more annoyed with the fact that there are no arrows at all in places where I would like them. (Can't think of an example right now).)

One place I can think of where I'm always wishing there were back buttons is the Collections tab. I'll open a different collection and want to get back to the previous one. Happens quite often.

That is definitely one! Also the Library, when I'm using long search criteria. When I'm working on my collections I tend to go back and forth in both of those, searching and twisting and tagging.

I've also taken to copying and pasting the Library filter string into a temporary location somewhere

Haven't gone quite that far yet. [:)] I just copy it for later use -- which, of course, only works until I need cmd-c for something else... Guess I could add a one note notefile to my Collection Work layout for temporary storage of search strings. Might be useful.

Hope the developers see this thread!

(I prefer keyboard shortcuts above mouse movements). So using ctrl-h would help me a lot.

Alt <Left Arrow> take you back to previous location in a resource

Alt <Right Arrow> take you forward to next location in a resource

These are keyboard shortcuts for the Back & Forward arrows.
