BackLink

“← All runs”. The way out of a detail page.

Why it exists

Four hand-rolled copies existed across Ivy, Root and Sage, each with its own arrow character and spacing.

The arrow is an icon rather than a literal “←” so it inherits the text colour, sits on the baseline, and is hidden from screen readers — which would otherwise read “leftwards arrow” before the label.

Guidance

Use it when

The top of a detail page, pointing at the list it came from.
as={Link} to keep client-side navigation.

Reach for something else when

Instead of a breadcrumb three levels deep. This says “back to the list”, not “here is where you are”.
As a browser-back substitute. It should name a destination, not a direction.
