You can use [wix-window.referrer](https://www.wix.com/code/reference/wix-window.html#referrer) to get the page from where you came, and [wix-location.to()](https://www.wix.com/code/reference/wix-location.html#to) to go back (limit to a local page so you don’t go to some external site). ---

hi. we really need a ‘close’ or ‘leave this site’ button enabled for our client. This is crucial for sites that have sensitive content such as domestic violence support sites. An example of this is [https://safelives.org.uk/](https://safelives.org.uk/) . How can we achieve this in Velo please? ---
