A computer implemented method performed by an application, comprising: accessing a first document presentation other than a default initial document presentation; recording a first location of the first document presentation, wherein only one recorded location can be maintained at a given time; accessing a sequence of additional document presentations originated from the first document presentation; automatically displaying a snapback button in response to accessing the sequence of additional document presentations; in response to a first input received from an activation of the snapback button, without having to display and select from a list of documents representing an access history of the sequence of additional document presentations and the first document presentation, directly retrieving the first document presentation from the recorded first location; redisplaying the first document representation retrieved from the recorded first location; and automatically removing the snapback button from display when the first document representation is redisplayed, such that no more snapback functionality can be performed from the redisplayed first document representation, wherein the snapback button is controlled within the same instance of the application.
