In an effort to address #50676 I opened #52456 which makes the back button in the Site Editor go back when possible instead of up.

There's still some confusing flows, however.

• Open the site editor
• Navigate a bit between pages, templates, ...
• Land on a random template in edit mode
• Open the command center and navigate to a random page "Sample page" for instance
• Click the "view mode" and click "back".

Instead of going to the "pages" sidebar, you go to the previous template that was opened. That feels wrong to me, If I wanted that I would have clicked the "previous" button of the browser why duplicate this one in the UI.
