What does the back button do?

2 min read

✨ Introduction #

The Back Button is a quick way to jump back into your work context in Kaamfu. Located on the left sidebar under the Kaamfu logo and search, it sits beside the History icon and brings you straight back to the Work Panel, right where you left off.

  #

🎯 Why This Feature Matters #

This feature exists to reduce “navigation drag” when you’ve stepped away from the Work Panel to check Settings, Directory, Align, Productivity, Team, or Activity. Before using it, users often spend time retracing clicks; the Back Button removes that friction so you can resume work immediately. In short, it shortens the path back to the exact item you were working on and helps you keep momentum.

  #

📄 Feature Overview #

The Back Button is located on the left navigation panel, just below the Kaamfu logo and search bar, and beside the History icon. When you click it from Settings, Directory, Align, Productivity, Team, or Activity, Kaamfu opens the Work Panel with the Items subpanel visible and highlights the last accessed Item.

 


If you click the Back Button again, Kaamfu finds the previously accessed Item and highlights it, allowing you to retrace your recent working path item-by-item without searching.
