Would it be possible to add the ability to go back a screen within a simulation. Currently this can be done by creating a button but the placing of it interferes with the instruction block. It would be great if the ability to go back a screen be placed inside the instruction box similarly to the next and close icons.

@JoBattisson I feel your pain – I’ve had to add and re-orient back buttons in some recent simulations and it would definitely help to have something baked into the U/I. I think the problem with requesting a feature like this is that sims are typically based on a navigation path and it may not always be a straight line. The button position may also depend on the screen. If you have different objects or a different base image on the previous screen, Evolve would have to give you a way to move and resize the button to the content. Be interested to hear the Intellum response.
