Feature Request - Back Button

I've seen this suggestion in a couple other places, but please add a back button to both the internet and desktop version of Wrike. It's so easy to click into a project and lose your spot. Multiple tabs doesn't really help because the ability to open a new tab doesn't exist from many links within Wrike -- the only option is to 'Open' which does not open in a new tab. A back button is an easy way to fix this.

Hi @Brandon Miller, thanks for sharing.

When you open up a project as you've mentioned, does clicking the 'X' button to close it achieve what you're aiming to do? I want to make sure we fully understand your ask here so any additional detail is much appreciated 👍

That works for specific use cases but not for most. The most practical example that comes to mind is within a dashboard that captures a number of projects. Frequently, I need to open the project from that dashboard, so clicking the button in the top right of the task for more details opens the project on top of the dashboard as a popup. There aren't enough details on that popup, so then I need to click 'Go to full details'. Once I'm at the detailed screen and make various updates, I have no way of getting back to my dashboard and need to manually navigate back to it.

Another good example is when I'm using a table with links within a task, if I click any of those links to additional projects or tasks, I have no way of getting back to the task at which I was previously looking. Practically this shows in the following situation: we create agendas for monthly leadership meetings that contain tables with a number of links to projects. We are frequently asked to click a link to get to more detail on that project, but then I have no way of getting back to the agenda task when I'm done with that other task. If I attempt to instead right click the project within the agenda task to open it in a new tab, that option isn't available. I only can open or edit the link.

I am not sure if this is what is being referred to, but in January, I noticed this "back button" icon in my Wrike. This update has only come into my Wrike and no user in my organisation has this feature. I am not sure if I did something to turn this on, if I did, please how do I turn this on for the whole account.
