CREATE DYNAMIC

BREADCRUMBS IN
SALESFORCE LWC

@TrailheadIQ
What are Breadcrumbs?

Breadcrumbs are a secondary navigation aid, often used


in hierarchical structures. They:

Allow users to understand their location in the app.

Enable easy backtracking to previous pages.

Improve user experience in multi-level navigation


systems.

@TrailheadIQ
When to Use Breadcrumbs?
Breadcrumbs are ideal for:

Hierarchical Navigation: Applications with deep


structures like Knowledge Bases or data hierarchies.

Multi-Level Forms or Processes: Complex flows


where users need context and quick access to earlier
steps.

Related Records: Navigating between records like


Accounts, Contacts, and Cases.

Breadcrumbs are more than just navigation—they


improve usability and efficiency, especially in Salesforce
apps.
