Arrow Back icon FAQ
What does this icon show?
Rounded square holding a U-turn arrow curling back to the left, for undo, go back and return actions. Typical uses: back button in a multi-step wizard, undo the last edit in an editor toolbar and return to the parent page from a detail view.
When should I use it instead of a similar icon?
Use it for:
- A lone undo control in a form or editor toolbar with no redo beside it
- The undo button in a toast shown right after an archive, send or delete
- Reply actions on email rows, message toolbars and the reply box under a thread
For previous record buttons in a detail view pager, use the Square Arrow Left icon. For undo and redo shown together as a mirrored pair in an editor, use the Refresh Arrow Anticlockwise icon. For a back button in a page header that returns to the parent list, use the Arrow Left icon.
Which styles does it come in?
4 styles: Outline, Solid, Duotone and Filled. Every style is drawn on the same 24 by 24 grid and installs as its own file, so you can switch styles without touching the layout.
How do I install it with the shadcn CLI?
Copy the install command from the panel above, in the style you want, and run it in your project. The shadcn CLI adds the icon as a React component that you import and render like any other. It draws in the current text color, so your text color and size classes style it. Icon installs need a ReUI Ultimate license.
What icons go well with it?
Icons from the same family and the Arrows set: Arrow Down, Arrow Down Left, Arrow Down Right, Arrow Down Triangle, Arrow Left and Arrow Left Line.
When was it added?
It joined the ReUI icon library on August 6, 2026.
