**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.
