	Use Your Back Button! – If you want to return to the previous page, the easiest way is to click the “back button,” in the top left corner of your browser window. If the back button is greyed out and cannot be used, this means a new browser window has opened. To return to the previous window, close the current window by clicking the “X” (close button) in the upper right corner of the window.
