Description

During the Usability study, participants had difficulty going back when they wanted to navigate the page. We should make "back" or "previous" buttons to make it easier to navigate the website without having to press the main tabs again. For example, when you go to the "create events" page and you click on an event type, you are not able to go back to the event type page. Another example is that if you search up a student on "student search" and click on the student's name, you are not able to press a back button to go back to the search bar.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the navigation patterns in the app (e.g., create events, student search). Identify where users get stuck and implement back buttons by maintaining a history stack or using browser history. Examples: add a back button to the event type page from the create events flow, and to the student search results from the student detail page.
