Viva Glint Reporting users like managers and leaders will be able to retrace their navigation flow i.e. drill down and drill up in reports rather than lose their navigation flow within reports. Navigation improvements will replace "Go Back" to Reporting home page with an alternative clickable UX to enable users to go back to the last page of reporting they were in. In other words, this feature will cater to Back navigation improvements in Reporting.

explanation for non-techies**
Imagine you're reading a long, detailed legal document or a complex HR report. As you read, you might want to flip back and forth between different sections to compare information or revisit something you didn't fully understand the first time. Now, picture doing this without any bookmarks or tabs; each time you want to go back, you have to start from the beginning and find your place again. Frustrating, right?
This is similar to what some users experience when navigating complex reports in digital platforms. Previously, if you were deep into a report and wanted to go back to a previous section, you might have had to return to the very start and navigate all over again. Microsoft Viva Glint is addressing this issue with a new feature that improves how users can move around within reports.
Think of it like adding bookmarks or tabs to your document. With these navigation improvements, you can easily jump back to the last section you were viewing without losing your place. This makes it much easier to compare data or revisit important information without the hassle of starting over.
In practical terms, this means that managers and leaders using Viva Glint for reporting can now have a smoother experience. They can drill down into detailed data and then quickly return to a broader view without losing track of where they were. It's like having a "back" button that takes you exactly where you need to go, rather than just back to the beginning.
This change is designed to make the reporting process more intuitive and efficient, much like how bookmarks and tabs help you manage complex documents in the physical world. By improving navigation, users can focus more on analyzing the data and less on finding their way around the reports.
