According to study materials and servicenow docs YOUR HISTORY should not track UI pages but will display forms, records and Homepages.
However when I tested this YOUR HISTORY did track the UI pages.
But NOT the homepages.
Is this a fault in the studybook and servicenow docs??

Homepages (like most of the 'Overview' modules) are not tracked.
Dashboards are tracked.
UI pages are not tracked (although the back-end view of a UI page record is tracked).
So, to answer your question, the docs are not 100% correct.
Please mark this response correct if I've answered your question. Thanks!

On a UI Page, you can add history and a handy title bar / back nav by adding the following to your page.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">
<!-- Adds history -->
<g:inline template="navigation_history_event.xml" history_type="page" history_description="far and away" history_title="Shorter Title"/>
<!-- Adds Nav title -->
<g:inline template="page_header.xml" title="My Really Long Page Title That Doesn't Fit History" />
<!-- more of your content here -->
</j:jelly>
I would also like to shamelessly plug my "Embedded Content App" over on share that allowed me to figure this out. It appears that there is a non-jelly way to make a history entry too which you can find in the report_history_event.xml macro in the app.
