# [up-back]
Changes the link's destination so it points to the previous URL.
If no previous URL is known, the link will not be changed.

> #### Note
>
> Clicking an `[up-back]` link will _not_ call [`history.back()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History/back). Instead, the link will [navigate](https://unpoly.com/api/up.navigate.md) to the previous URL.
## Example {#example}
This link …
```html
Go back
```
… will be transformed to:
```html
Go back
```
