Describe the bug On the draw.io Getting Started documentation page, the bottom navigation contains a "Next" link labeled "draw.io diagram editor", but the link points back to the current page instead of advancing to another documentation page.

Page: https://www.drawio.com/docs/getting-started/

The "Next" link also points to: https://www.drawio.com/docs/getting-started/

This creates a self-referencing navigation loop.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to https://www.drawio.com/docs/getting-started/
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the page.
  3. Locate the "Next" navigation link labeled "draw.io diagram editor".
  4. Click the link.
  5. Observe that the same Getting Started page loads again.

Expected behavior The "Next" link should navigate to the next page in the documentation sequence rather than linking to the current page.

Screenshots A screenshot can be provided showing the bottom navigation where "Next → draw.io diagram editor" appears.

draw.io version (In the Help->About menu of the draw.io editor):

  • N/A – this issue is with the draw.io documentation website, not the diagram editor.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 10
  • Browser: Google Chrome
  • Browser Version: 152

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

  • Device: N/A
  • OS: N/A
  • Browser: N/A
  • Version: N/A

I tested the problem in incognito/private mode with all browser extensions switched off, write "yes" below:

  • yes

Additional context The issue appears to be caused by the documentation navigation configuration rather than the draw.io editor itself. The current page is effectively configured as its own successor.
