# Navigation History
## Overview
The [NavigationHistory](../api/navigation-history.md) class allows you to manage and interact with the browsing history of your Electron application. This powerful feature enables you to create intuitive navigation experiences for your users.
## Accessing NavigationHistory
Navigation history is stored per [`WebContents`](../api/web-contents.md) instance. To access a specific instance of the NavigationHistory class, use the WebContents class's [`contents.navigationHistory` instance property](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/web-contents#contentsnavigationhistory-readonly).
```js
const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow()
const { navigationHistory } = mainWindow.webContents
```
## Navigating through history
Easily implement back and forward navigation:
```js @ts-type={navigationHistory:Electron.NavigationHistory}
// Go back
if (navigationHistory.canGoBack()) {
navigationHistory.goBack()
}
// Go forward
if (navigationHistory.canGoForward()) {
navigationHistory.goForward()
}
```
## Accessing history entries
Retrieve and display the user's browsing history:
```js @ts-type={navigationHistory:Electron.NavigationHistory}
const entries = navigationHistory.getAllEntries()
entries.forEach((entry) => {
console.log(`${entry.title}: ${entry.url}`)
})
```
Each navigation entry corresponds to a specific page. The indexing system follows a sequential order:
- Index 0: Represents the earliest visited page.
- Index N: Represents the most recent page visited.
## Navigating to specific entries
Allow users to jump to any point in their browsing history:
```js @ts-type={navigationHistory:Electron.NavigationHistory}
// Navigate to the 5th entry in the history, if the index is valid
navigationHistory.goToIndex(4)
// Navigate to the 2nd entry forward from the current position
if (navigationHistory.canGoToOffset(2)) {
navigationHistory.goToOffset(2)
}
```
Here's a full example that you can open with Electron Fiddle:
