Back button in Header

[Kai Mast]

When using a page stack, it would be nice if the Header could show a back button.

The thing is, the header is much easier to reveal than the toolbar. Revealing the toolbar just to go back totally breaks the workflow in my opinion.
So, if there is enough space in the header (fun fact: there is), then we could show the back button there. The icon could be the same as the Tabs arrow but pointing in the other direction.

There is a design for it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt6dwe4cw0I

The design looks good, but personally I'd find it more logical to have the back button on the left side. On the other hand, there is probably more space for a back button on the right side.

I didn't make the video.

Personally I would prefer a button on the left that is always visible. That way it also can be used on the desktop and is easier to discover.
