# Breadcrumbs widget

The breadcrumbs widget allows users to easily navigate around a portal. You can use this base system widget as-is in your portal or clone it to suit your own business needs.

## Using the widget

The breadcrumbs widget displays information based on where a page is located in a portal. For example, if you navigate to the Knowledge Base from the home page, then the breadcrumb reads as **Home** > **Knowledge Base**. Each subsequent page that you open expands the breadcrumb.

Click a page name on the breadcrumbs widget to navigate to that page. For example, to return to the home page, click **Home**.

You can customize this widget to change the breadcrumb path. For more information, see [KB0719179](https://support.servicenow.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0719179).

## Instance options
