Breadcrumb

Definition

A breadcrumb is a series of links that lays out the hierarchical relationship between the current page and the overall site or app structure.

Usage

Breadcrumbs are essential navigation elements; every website should have one. Breadcrumbs provide secondary navigation that allows users to move freely through a series of pages and leap backward or forward more than one page at a time. They facilitate users being able to orient themselves within the breadth of an app or website.
