Breadcrumb Trail NavigationDuring Browse window navigation, the LUMIN App will track your levels of drilling down through the music libraries. Tapping this button pops-up a Breadcrumb Trail of the navigation path to get to this point. Tapping any of these items will jump back to this point. |

Forward/BackDuring Browse window navigation, the LUMIN App will remember your recent history and you can navigate backwards and forwards between views. Mimicking the behaviour of an internet browser's forward/back buttons. The LUMIN App will remember previous browsing sources (TIDAL/Radio/Tags/etc) and views (Artwork View/Song Grouping View/etc). These navigation buttons appear at the bottom-left of the Browse window and will float over the content. These buttons can be removed in Settings > Backward and Forward Navigation |
