Back link #32

Reported issue in the frontend for the SVG icon not scaling when you increase the font size |
Hi, we’re prepping an update to the nhsuk-frontend which will include an addition to the back link component to allow it to function as a button (for example, in transactional services) as well as a link. It’ll look the same but the nunjucks macros in the frontend will generate a button when instructed. We’ll include a coded example in the design system page about the back link component. If you have any comments ahead of release, please let us know. |
Do we want to add to our guidance this bit of info from the GOV.UK page? "Using the default link text (‘Back’) is ideal for services with a simple journey.. [where users only] ever go back to the previous page in the service." "For more complex user journeys, consider using different link text, like ‘Go back to [page]’. For example, [go back to results page].... In this case, if you used ‘Back’, it might not be clear to users what they are going back to." Example from NHS.UK blood pressure tool - not yet released. |
@sarawilcox is the "Go" in the suggested "Go back" text significant? I think in the GOV.UK Design System it’s always been just "Back". Did NHS add the "Go" for any reason? Whilst the GOVUK Design System does say "For more complex user journeys, consider using different link text, like ‘Go back to [page]’", when I’ve followed that pattern I’ve not had "Go" there either (so just "Back to [page]"). Suspect the presence or absence of "Go" doesn't make a difference either way, but I’m happy to be wrong if there’s any research on this! |
I'm afraid I don't know. I don't know whether @davidhunter08 remembers? |
