Go back to the kiosk home page

As you use the kiosk, it will open new content in a new browser tab. You may end up with a few browser tabs open at once. The first tab will still have the ‘MSD kiosk’ open (unless you’ve closed the tab or entered a website address into that tab’s URL bar).

  1. Select the ‘MSD kiosk’ tab to navigate back to the kiosk.
