# Navigation buttons

The **Navigation Buttons** component provides directional controls for moving through course content. It typically includes "Return" and "Continue" buttons that allow users to navigate backward and forward through the learning materials.

## Disable navigation buttons

It is recommended to disable navigation buttons in Parta if:

* You prefer to use LMS course navigation to avoid any confusing duplication.
* You want to ensure learners follow a single, cohesive path without switching between course pages.<br>

Navigation buttons allow learners to move between course pages. Configure them based on your course structure:

| Course structure   | Action                                                                                                                                                                             |
