BUTTONS DO NOT CHANGE THEIR FUNCTION.

going to leave the rootIcon.setNavigationStyle() method so you can switch
it if you want,.

I am not trying to be pedantic.
I am trying to ensure we are all sharing a common understanding and at the
moment I am confused.

If I use the setNavigationStyle() method then the back button will change
its functioning. So is that OK because it is still a back button. Or is
that unacceptable because buttons don't change their function?.

Can I make a suggestion?

It will be relatively easy at a later date to add additional exit
navigation button setting options to the connector pages xwd and model
files. I have in an earlier post discussed a workaround that can be used to
get the best out of the Connector pages with purely linear navigation. So
how about we leave things as they are for now and then discuss this at the
forthcoming Xerte meet in October?

This will avoid any further delays in the Xerte release, allow a little
time for people to try out the Connector pages and give both the Authoring
and Developer communities an opportunity to engage with the discussion.

All in favour ?
