Hi guys, I am new to Viart so I'll apologise in advance if this is in the manual, although I haven't managed to find the answer. After I have added a new item I would like to be returned to the page where the new item is located, rather than page 1, is this possible?

Yes it is possible. In Settings > Products > Products Settings select the option:
"After Adding Product: (o) Remain on the same page"
 
Regards,
