Back Button in the sidebar

Hey @Roberto_Maddaloni , thank you for sharing your feedback in the community.

Don’t also forget to vote up top your idea! Our teams use votes from the community to gauge overall interest here. 🆙

Slack has back and forward buttons that you can use to jump back through channels you were recently in, and forward again. I wish every day that Figma had the same feature for pages! It’s really a pain to be on one page of a file and then go to another page, or open a link to a totally different Figma file, and then not remember exactly where I came from, especially when I’m trying to compare content across different pages. Plus scrolling through a long sidebar of pages to find the right ones over and over again…yuck!

Agreed! Would you mind upvoting ⬆️ the idea? 🙂

Back would be soo helpful. Click “Go to main component”, check out the component, maybe make some updates then it’s scrolling the sidebar and trying to remember which specific page you were on … maddening!

It looks like they just removed voting from here or something, but count this as my vote

I use the webapp only for this back button.

I think the fact that this extension for a back button has 11.2k subscribers (as of October 2025) is a strong indicator for the demand of this feature.
