page up

Jump screen higher

Page up is a keyboard command or button that scrolls the display upward by roughly one screenful, moving to earlier content in a document.

The opposite of page down.

On most keyboards, it appears as a dedicated key labeled "Page Up" or "PgUp": I hit page up to get back to the introduction.
