Return to Previous Product Flow Views

page
4 min readUpdated

This page explains how to return from a product-flow view to the screen you were reviewing previously. Using the return control helps you move between product-flow documentation and review work without losing your place in the workflow.

Overview

Product-flow views help you inspect documentation, source context, and review information for a product. When you open a product-flow view from another Atloria screen, a back-navigation control is available to take you to the previous relevant view.

Use this control when you have finished checking a product flow and want to continue your earlier task, such as reviewing documentation or comparing changes. For example, you may open a flow while working in Review & Publish and then return to the review area by selecting Back to Review.

The available return destination depends on how you entered the product-flow view. If you opened the flow from a review screen, returning takes you back to that review context. If you are comparing documentation changes, you may also see ← Previous Change, which moves to the prior change in the review sequence rather than leaving the current workflow.

Prerequisites

Before returning from a product-flow view, make sure that:

  • You have opened a product-flow view from an Atloria product or documentation workflow.
  • You have reviewed or saved any information you need from the current view.
  • You know whether you want to return to the review area or move through a sequence of changes.
  • You have access to the relevant project and version review area, if your flow was opened during documentation review.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Open the product-flow view that you want to leave.

  2. Review the current flow, source information, or documentation details before navigating away.

  3. Locate the return control near the product-flow navigation area.

  4. Click Back to Review when you want to return to the documentation review screen that led to the current product-flow view.

  5. Wait for the review screen to open.

  6. Confirm that the review context is still visible, including the relevant project, version, or documentation item.

  7. Click ← Previous Change instead when you are reviewing a sequence of changes and want to inspect the change immediately before the current one.

  8. Select 1 Review Summary when you want to return to the review summary rather than continue examining individual changes.

  9. Select Product if you need to return to the broader product area and continue exploring product-related information.

  10. Select Source when you need to review the source-oriented view associated with the current documentation or flow.

Tips and Best Practices

  • Use Back to Review after examining a flow that was opened during review. This keeps your work focused on the same review process instead of requiring you to locate the item again manually.

  • Use ← Previous Change only when you want to move through the change history one item at a time. It is intended for reviewing the prior change, not for returning to a different workspace.

  • Check the destination after you return. The screen you reach reflects the context from which you opened the product-flow view, such as a review summary or an individual change.

  • If you need a high-level view of the review process, choose 1 Review Summary rather than repeatedly moving backward through individual changes.

  • Use Source when the question you are investigating concerns implementation context, and use Product when you need to return to the product-oriented documentation view.

  • Before leaving a flow, make a note of any details you need to compare later. Returning to review changes the screen context from the flow view to the review workflow.

Troubleshooting

You do not see Back to Review

The return action may only be available when you opened the product-flow view from a review workflow. Select Product or Source to continue in the available context, or return to the appropriate review area and reopen the flow from there.

← Previous Change does not take you back to the review summary

← Previous Change moves to the preceding change in a change sequence. To return to the overall review status, select 1 Review Summary instead.

You returned to a different screen than expected

The return destination depends on the screen from which you entered the product-flow view. Review the available actions—such as Back to Review, Product, and Source—and select the one that matches the area you need to continue working in.
