## Article Content:

# navigateBack()

Navigates the user back to previous dashboard page. It's equivalent to the user clicking the browser's back button.
<!-- If you call `navigateBack()` from the first overlay page that was opened in the modal, the modal closes and the user is returned to the original context. -->

## Signature

```ts
() => void
```

## Examples
> **Note:** To use this method in [self-hosted apps](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/articles/get-started/about-self-hosted-apps.md), you need to create a [client](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/articles/set-up-a-client/about-the-wix-client.md). See the [setup](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/host-modules/dashboard/introduction.md) guide for more details.

### Navigate back to the previous page

```typescript
dashboard.navigateBack();
```
