Provide cues and prompts to aid browsing
This feature provides cues and prompts to aid browsing. In a simple case, it may provide clear links to a home page, favorites, and the previous page. In a more complex implementation, this feature could analyze user behavior and suggest the next step (e.g. after a product is added to the user’s shopping cart, it prompts the user on how to complete the purchase or continue shopping).
