Adjust back navigation at the confirmation step when coming from search
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Currently, canceling the confirmation step by taping on the close icon leads the user back to the translation dashboard. This is the expected behaviour in many cases. However, when users reached the confirmation step by searching for an article, the expectation may be to return to that step in order to search for a different article.

The video below illustrated how checking what's available for translation about different towns named "Almenara" requires to initiate the search each time:

This ticket proposes for the back navigation (with the close icon or the back button) to lead to the search step in those cases where the user reached the confirmation step through it.

if we click the "select section to translate" button after the first screen of the search, then the X back button doesn't work as expected on this task, it goes back to the dashboard instead of the search screen

Thanks for capturing that part of the workflow. I think we can consider adjusting that as part of another ticket if needed.

I think once the user has committed to the translation, cancelling it make sense to go to the dashboard. However, it is not totally clear where users perceive that point (is moving beyond the confirm step? is when they reach the editor?). We may want to observe through which steps the users repeatedly iterate when searching for a section to translate ( @Easikingarmager this may be relevant for upcoming research observations).

This task was focused on keeping the search context up to the confirmation step since there was a clear iteration pattern of searching for another article. We may need to expand it further if looking into the detail of the section list is actually part of such process. For this, I think it makes sense to wait for some more user observations and use of the tool.

So I think the current ticket can be resolved if the navigation from the confirmation step to the search step is working.
