Describe the feature you'd like

Is it possible to see in breadcrumbs the shelve where the book is located.
I know that a book can be in multiple shelves eventually, but if the user arrived from a shelve in the book , the chapter or the page, it is possible to have the shelve in the bread crumb. Or we can have a choice in the book configuration page to choose de default shelve to see in the breadcrumb ?

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

When we are on a page and we look at the breadcrumb to see in which book and shelve we are, we cannot have de shelves.
Example : I have a shelves by customer. And I have neerly the book name in my different shelves. When I am in a book , I can't be sure in which customer shelve I am.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

There is a lot of possibility to achieve this goal. But I think the most "common" problem is that a book can be in multiple shelves. This problem can be solve in many ways by parameters in book stack : 1 shelve by book . Or in the book configuration page : the default shelve.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

1 to 5 years

Hi @laouache,

BookStack will already show the shelf in the breadcrumb where the user enters the content via the shelf:

The shelf context will reset/clear though if the user strays outside of it.

Yes I'm sorry . I mean when I share a link to a page.
So, the user accessed a page without enter the content via the shelve.

Problematic because book can be in multiple shelves.
