### Answer
Retell AI does not natively support automatically returning from a Global Node to the previous node in the conversation flow. [(1) ](
)
Workaround approach:
You can build this manually by storing the last node in a variable and routing back using a Logic Split node. [(2) ](
)
Known limitations to be aware of:
- The "go back to previous node" transition in a global node may not work correctly with components—if the global node triggers while inside a component, it may return to the first node of the component instead of the expected node. [(3) ](
)
- This is described as an architectural limitation. [(1) ](
)
Practical recommendation:
If you need this behavior frequently, consider whether a single-prompt agent approach might better suit your use case, as some users have found this avoids the complexity of managing returns from global nodes. [(4) ](
