# Routing Fixes - Pages Now Open in New Tabs

## ✅ Fixed Issues

### **Problem**: 
Pages like Privacy, Terms, Documentation, etc. were linking to external domain URLs (`https://progresspulse.app/...`) instead of using proper internal routing.

### **Solution**: 
- ✅ **Removed external URLs** from Header component
- ✅ **Added proper internal routing** for all pages
- ✅ **Created missing page components**
- ✅ **Configured pages to open in new tabs** when clicked

## 📄 Pages Created/Fixed

### **New Pages Added:**
1. **Privacy Policy** - `/privacy` → `PrivacyPage.tsx`
2. **Terms of Service** - `/terms` → `TermsPage.tsx`  
3. **Release Notes** - `/releases` → `ReleasesPage.tsx`
4. **Help & Support** - `/support` → `SupportPage.tsx`

### **Existing Pages:**
- **Documentation** - `/docs` → `DocumentationPage.tsx` ✅
- **Tutorial** - `/tutorial` → `TutorialPage.tsx` ✅

## 🔧 Technical Changes

### **Header Component (`src/components/layout/Header.tsx`)**
```typescript
// OLD (External URLs):
openExternalLink('https://progresspulse.app/privacy')

// NEW (Internal routing with new tab):
openInNewTab('/privacy')
```

### **New Function Added:**
```typescript
const openInNewTab = (path: string) => {
  const url = window.location.origin + path;
  window.open(url, '_blank', 'noopener,noreferrer');
};
```

### **App Routes (`src/App.tsx`)**
Added new routes:
```typescript
<Route path="/privacy" element={<PrivacyPage />} />
<Route path="/terms" element={<TermsPage />} />
<Route path="/releases" element={<ReleasesPage />} />
<Route path="/support" element={<SupportPage />} />
```

## 🎯 How It Works Now

### **When User Clicks Menu Items:**
1. **Privacy Policy** → Opens `/privacy` in new tab
2. **Terms of Service** → Opens `/terms` in new tab
3. **Release Notes** → Opens `/releases` in new tab
4. **Help & Support** → Opens `/support` in new tab
5. **Documentation** → Opens `/docs` in new tab

### **Benefits:**
- ✅ **No external dependencies** - All pages are self-contained
- ✅ **Works offline** - Pages load from your app, not external domain
- ✅ **New tab behavior** - Pages open in new tabs as requested
- ✅ **Consistent styling** - All pages use your app's theme and components
- ✅ **Fast loading** - No external network requests needed

## 🧪 Testing

### **To Test:**
1. Run your app: `npm run dev`
2. Click the "More Options" menu (three dots) in the header
3. Click any of the policy/documentation links
4. Each should open in a new tab with proper content

### **URLs to Test:**
- `http://localhost:5173/privacy`
- `http://localhost:5173/terms`
- `http://localhost:5173/releases`
- `http://localhost:5173/support`
- `http://localhost:5173/docs`

## 📱 Mobile/APK Compatibility

These pages will work perfectly in both:
- ✅ **Web browsers** - Opens new tabs normally
- ✅ **Native APK** - Opens new WebView windows within the app

**All pages now use proper internal routing and open in new tabs as requested! 🎉**
