View navigation makes linked elements and relationship definitions clearer by highlighting them when you interact with them. It uses breadcrumbs to track your navigation path, letting you jump back to any previous view with a single click. These preferences and trails persist throughout your current session, ensuring a consistent experience as you move between views.
NOTE: These settings replace the legacy behavior of persistent arrow indicators with a cleaner, interaction-based highlighting system.

Your preferences are applied to the current view and will persist for all subsequent views you navigate to during this session.
Interact with linked elements
When you hover over a linked element or relationship, the border turns orange, and the cursor changes to a pointer.
To access the linked view or URL, double-click on the linked element.
NOTE: If the element is linked to a view, it opens in the same canvas; if it is linked to an external URL, it opens in a new browser tab.
When you select a linked element or relationship, it displays a blue selection border and a blue arrow.
If an element is connected to multiple resources, click on the element to open the dropdown.
NOTE: The resource selection dropdown has a maximum width of 420px and will adapt its size to accommodate long resource names.
Navigating with breadcrumbs
Breadcrumbs are currently enabled on the Strategic Planning and Architecture Management page once you have navigated past more than one view. The flow appears only if the views are connected to the card.
You can find the breadcrumb trail at the top left of the canvas.
To return to the previous view in your path:
Click the Back
iconOr click the view's name
NOTE: View names in the breadcrumb will truncate after 180px. You can hover over a truncated name to see the full title.
The canvas updates to display the selected view, and the breadcrumb trail updates to reflect your current position in the path.
Navigation behaviors
Path loops: If you open a view that is already present in your current breadcrumb trail, the path will truncate back to that earlier occurrence (for example, a path of A > B > C > B becomes A > B).
Path resets: The breadcrumb trail will reset if you navigate away from your current exploration path by either:
Opening the Start page,
Opening a View not connected to the previous one
Opening a different view using URL,
Persistence: Your breadcrumb path remains active if you refresh the page; it does not reset on a browser reload.
