Need help with understanding navigation summary

    I have a confusion with the Navigation Summary report, could you please help me understanding this.

    If the entrance path (Current Selection) is my Homepage how can there be a "previous page path"? (or what does previous page path mean?).

    Eg. A visitor landed directly on my Homepage > then to 'Page 2' > then to 'Page 3'
    Here I am assuming 'Page 2' and 'Page 3' to fall under the 'Next Page Path', what will be the 'Previous page path' in this scenario?

    My Answer is on the assumption that you are talking about Visitor Flow Feature:-

    As asked by you in the above example - if you are measuring from Homepage you wont have previous page path but if you are tracking the user from page 2 or page 3 then you will have different page path.

    Hope this clears your doubt

    :)
