Description:
A few Updates ago, the "Go Back" feature of LibreOffice was Quietly DROPPED.  I'm working on an Office file, containing our family recipes.  There are MANY instances to Another Recipe would be Very Helpful.  Unfortunately, without the "Go Back" feature, returning to the MAIN recipe is a CONVOLUTED Navigation of Menu Items.  Would REALLY like to get this feature back.  Otherwise, Very Impressed in the capabilities of this program.  Ciao, Grumpie....

What do you mean by the "go back" feature? Could you please provide precise steps, including what kind of document you are using, and where that feature used to be located? Thank you!

@nik, please open the Sidebar -> Navigator ( <Ctl>+<Alt>+4 )

Use the drop list to change to "Recency" mode. The "Go back", "Go forward" arrows will move document cursor and view port accordingly.

You also can still enable the "Navigation" tool bar ( View -> Toolbars -> Navigation ).  The "Back" and "Forward" arrows there are the same as the "Recency" mode of the Sidebar Navigator deck.

IMHO => WFM

Don't know what more NEED INFO I CAN PROVIDE.. CANNOT PROVIDE "Precise Steps' to reproduce the Problem; because the BASIC PROBLEM is that a Feature is MISSING!  Ciao, Grumpie (aka Nik FINNEY)

Stuart provided information in comment 2, but you haven't replied to that.
It looks to me that, with the features Stuart highlighted, and the potential for customisation, this is either "not a bug" or "works for me". The feature was never "dropped". Maybe you made the toolbar visible one day, and on updating the software it went back to its default of being hidden?
