# Breadcrumb Navigation

This element helps users better orient themselves on your website and quickly return to higher categories or pages. It contributes to improved user-friendliness by facilitating navigation and clearly visualizing the user's path on the page.

**What is breadcrumb navigation?**

Breadcrumb navigation, often referred to as "crumb trail navigation," shows the hierarchy of visited pages in the form of a simple path.

It typically consists of links to parent categories or pages that represent the user's position within the structure. This allows the user to always understand where they are and to return directly to higher levels.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.rh-webdesign.com/cms-bundle/en/elemente/navigation/breadcrumb-navigation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
