Back to Previous Page
Returns to the previous browser web page.
Command availability: IBM RPA SaaS and IBM RPA on premises
Description
This command returns to the previous browser web page without adding to the browser's history. Forward or backward browsing, in this case, occurs only with cached content while the browser is active, similar to what happens in incognito browsing.
Script syntax
IBM RPA's proprietary scripting language has a syntax similar to other programming languages. The script syntax defines the command's syntax in the script file. You can work with this syntax in IBM RPA Studio's Script mode.
