This is a spin off from "Bug 38433 - UI:Edit > Changes enable navigation toolbar" Can't find any Help for new Navigation Toolbar with "LibreOffice 3.4.1RC1 – WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) English UI [OOO340m1 (Build:103)]". All I found is concerning Bar in Navigator.
@reporter: Is this still valid? Could you update the status?
I still can't find in 3.7.0.0.alpha0+ And I still am not 100% sure. But I will risk it, because Extended Tooltipps also are rare and show only "Back" or "Forward". @David: Can you help?
Help for Navigator is available in 3.6.4.3.
(In reply to comment #3) @Paul Weiss: Your comments would be more useful if you would contribute more concrete information. Where did you find that? Please contribute steps how to find that in LOCALHELP or WIKIHELP (<https://help.libreoffice.org/>)
Oh, okay, I though it was obvious. 1. Press F1 to open local help. 2. Access help for Navigator in one of the following ways: a. Contents Text Documents->Command and Menu Reference->View->Navigator or for briefer help: Text Documents->Navigating Text Documents->Navigator for Text Documents Common Help Topics->Working with the User Interface->Navigatgor for Document Overview (there are probably other ways, too) b. Index->Navigator c. Find->Navigator
(In reply to comment #5) @Paul Weiss That's something different, you found the Help for the "Navigator", not the "Navigation Toolbar" (You can toggle view for "Navigation Toolbar" in menu 'View -> Toolbars -> Navigation'. But I admit, that's rather worrying, because the Navigator also has a (different) "Navigation toolbar" for what you found some help.

I agree. Perhaps the one in Navigator can be renamed as "Navigator Toolbar".

Adding UX eval to set if this navigation toolbar is really valuable to the UI. Behaviour is apparently erratic and lack of description does not help user. e.g. https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/114955/navigation-toolbar-appears-on-inserting-headerfooter-in-a-document/
Introduced with bug 32869 in https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sw/source/uibase/wrtsh/navmgr.cxx the purpose is to navigate over hyperlinks in the document. We could enhance the toolbar with next/previous page.
*** Bug 115817 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The source [1][2] is reasonably well documented. And the Greenberg & Cockburn [3] "recency with temporal ordering" based back and forward history navigation remains. But, if fully functional would expect the feature to be less about navigating hyperlinks (internal or external) and for the control to provide more generic Back and Forward movements within a document. A GoToMark, GoToFLy, GotoINetAttr, GotoOutline (index), GotoOutline (string), GotoRegion, GotoRefMark, GotoNextTOXBase, GotoTable,GotoFld, and GotoRedline action were linked as history navigation targets. Unfortunately, not clear the "recency with temporal ordering" of the navigation history is still implemented correctly. I couldn't identify where in UI a user could "add" a mark to trigger inclusion of a SwUnoCsr position to the m_entries[] list and _activate_ the control. And while inserting an internal hyperlink--reference, bookmark, header, footer, etc. the Cusor is registered into the navigation history, and activates the Navigation toolbar controls--other actions for cursor/focus movement do not. For example a Go-to-End of document should provide a Navigation toolbar action to return from. =-ref-= [1] https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sw/source/uibase/wrtsh/navmgr.cxx?a=true [2] https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sw/source/uibase/inc/navsh.hxx [3] https://prism.ucalgary.ca/bitstream/handle/1880/45977/1999-641-04.pdf
Aslo, if fully functional seems like this set of controls--.uno:NavigateBack & .uno:NavigateForward would make sense to appear in the Standard toolbar, or maybe the Navigator dialog adjacent to the PreviousPage/NextPage buttons.
UX topic moved to bug 115817, keeping this one open for docu.
(In reply to Olivier Hallot from comment #10) > Adding UX eval to set if this navigation toolbar is really valuable to the > UI. > > Behaviour is apparently erratic and lack of description does not help user. Discussed this in the design meeting. The implementation might have room for improvement, ie. position/popup of controls, but the functionality itself is not questioned. So we keep it, perhaps in the future not as a standalone toolbar.
closing. follow bug 115817.
@Olivier, giving this moved documentation issue a poke. The current Navigator help [1] conflates the 'Navigation Toolbar' [2] with the Navigator UIs 'Navigate by' modal selection via drop list and Next - Previous buttons--as brought in from the reworked Find bar. What should the 'Navigate by' element in the Navigator be called in the Help? Calling the Navigator's component "Navigation toolbar" is being confused with the View -> Toolbars -> 'Navigation' toolbar. And, as for bug 115817, its function (internally documented in source) could still use some type of attention in the Help. =-ref-= [1] https://help.libreoffice.org/7.0/en-US/text/shared/guide/navigator_setcursor.html [2] a contextual toolbar implemented with bug 32869 and subject of bug 115817
