Now is time for your first challenge in this part. For this, I want you to add the back button functionality in the TopAppBar of the Scaffold and the back Button in the main content inside the AboutScreen. You’ll be following the same process of state hoisting from the previous episode.

fun AboutScreen(onNavigateBack: () -> Unit) {
  //...
}
// In the TopAppBar
IconButton(onClick = { onNavigateBack() }) {
  //...
}

// In the Button in the main content
Button(
  onClick = { onNavigateBack() },
  //...
) {
  //..,.
}
AboutScreen(onNavigateBack = {})
composable("about") {
  AboutScreen(onNavigateBack = { navController.navigateUp() }) // Updated Code
}
