Thank you for the update @pmusaraj. The back button works perfect now!

Refreshing the page on the `/custom` route still shows the “Oops” page. Is there a way to fix this as well?

I’m asking because, with a custom homepage, it’s common to need a custom “Home” link in the sidebar. Regular users typically prefer to set their default homepage to a list view like “Latest.” Without a custom sidebar link, they wouldn’t be able to navigate to the common homepage then. That’s why I’d always add a `/custom` link to the sidebar items.

Just in case that the wishlist is currently open for this, I’d be happy to provide even more detailed feedback.. 😇

- Would be great if such a “Home” link on the sidebar is also highlighted on the /custom route

- Another detail I noticed working with the feature is that the route doesn’t have a translatable name yet. There is `js.home`, but it could be misleading when users have set a different page as their homepage. Well, I’m not sure how to best call this tbh.
