Pull request overview
This PR expands the Moodle developer documentation around linear navigation by documenting how the “Previous”/“Next” activity controls resolve destinations, what gets skipped, and how activity modules can override or suppress their navigation URL via \core_course\cm_info navigation URL APIs.
Changes:
- Mention activity-module participation in linear navigation in the Moodle 5.3 developer update.
- Add module-facing documentation for overriding/excluding the linear navigation URL via
modname_cm_info_dynamic(). - Add a dedicated “Next and previous activity navigation” section describing routing, skip rules, and override APIs.

Thanks for the changes, Sara.
The patch seems OK to me now and explains the important information devs should know about.
