Hi
I was experiencing the same problem and after a lot of head scratching and a bit of digging, I discovered that these buttons will only render if you are viewing your product from within a collection, i.e. through the default collection template in the customizer, or by navigating to, your-store.myshopify.com/collections/collection-name. By default you have these two in the Ride theme, automated-collection and hydrogen.
After re-reading the instructions this is implied;
```
'When buyers click this link, they'll be taken to the card_product's product page, but within the context of a particular collection."
```
@JasonH It might be helpful to stress this vital point in the exercise instructions.
I hope this helps anyone else experiencing the same frustrations.

Hi @Nosremetnarg,
Thank you for bringing your question to our community.
To further look into this, I will need your help with the following information:
JasonH,
I am having the same issue. "Liquid activity lab:
Add product navigation buttons" exercise - followed instructions exactly but navigation buttons do not appear. In the code inspector, I can see the container div but the code to generate the buttons is missing. Seems like something is missing from the tutorial.
Hi @lhanse,
Thank you for taking the time to run with the suggestions.
To investigate further, I can use some help from your side. Can you share a video that replicates this issue you're experiencing?
Please make sure the video includes the following details:
Thanks!

Hi @walkonmars
I was able to add the navigation buttons without issues. However, thank you for highlighting the instructions; they can serve as a helpful reminder when learners are checking the rendered buttons.
I've marked your reply as the solution.
