# Exit from student essay returns to that student's list
When a teacher hits "exit" while viewing a student's essay, the navigation should return to that student's essay list — not the class dashboard.
## Problem
Reported 2026-01-15: today, exiting a student essay throws the teacher back to the class dashboard. That's the wrong default — when a teacher is reviewing one student's work, they're usually in a sub-flow ("look at all of Ryan's recent submissions"). Bouncing them up to the class level interrupts that flow and forces extra clicks to dive back in.
## Goals (rough)
- "Exit" navigates one level up (student essay list), not two levels up (class dashboard).
- The breadcrumb / nav header should reflect this.
## Non-goals
- Reworking the entire navigation hierarchy. Targeted fix.
