Forward Navigation Examples

 Often embedded into a screen’s content through a variety of components.

Forward navigation can be implemented using:
- Content containers such as cards, lists, or image lists
- Buttons that advance to another screen
- In-app search on one or more screens
- Links within content

Implementing Forward Navigation

Three types of movement between screens to complete a task:

- Downward in an app's hierarchy to access deeper content, from a parent screen (higher level of hierarchy) to a child screen (lower level)
- Sequentially through a flow, or an ordered sequence of screens, such as a checkout process
- Directly from one screen to any other in the app, such as from a home screen to a screen deep in an app's hierarchy

Methods of Forward Navigation

Forward navigation refers to one of three types of movement between screens to complete a task. 
- Moving between screens at consecutive levels of hierarchy, steps in a flow, or across an app
