Persistent Reverse Navigation Mechanism

摘要

Persistent feedback for bidirectional navigation is provided. A user may navigate from a list of items in a first user interface to a second user interface where a specific item from the list of items may be opened. When the user navigates back to the first user interface, the item which the user opened in the second user interface may be marked with a persistent visual indicator. The persistent visual indicator provides an indication to the user which item he previously had opened. The persistent visual indicator may be functionally selectable, which when selected, may reopen the item it is associated with in the second user interface.

1. A method for providing persistent feedback for bidirectional navigation, the method comprising:
providing a list of a plurality of items in a first user interface; receiving an indication of a selection to open an item from the list in the first user interface; opening the item in a second user interface; receiving an indication of a selection to return to the first user interface; transitioning back to the first user interface; and providing a persistent visual indicator associated with the item opened in the second user interface.
