Ciao,  
you have to select the screen at left and in the setting right side …

Hello.

When using stack navigator, the code to return to the previous screen is not used. Return to the previous screen occurs either by tap the arrow “\< name” in the title of the screen, or by using the swype gesture (if gesture support is enabled for screen)

My downloaded app does not even show the back arrow key…it only shows in Thunkable Live test
