# Switch to different Window

This is a pre-built Action located under the **@Browser Element**, instructs the Avo Assure to switch between two different windows or tabs during debugging or execution. It helps handle multi-window or multi-tab scenarios in web applications and save the result in the dynamic variable.

### Syntax

**Input Value:** `<window number>`&#x20;

<table><thead><tr><th>Argument</th><th>Description</th><th data-hidden></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>&#x3C;window number><br>(Required)</td><td>Enter the window number to switch to that browser tab.</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

**Output Value:**

<table><thead><tr><th>Argument</th><th>Description</th><th data-hidden></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>&#x3C;Dynamic Variable>(Optional);&#x3C;Dynamic Variable>(Optional)</td><td>The dynamic variable holds the status as <strong>True</strong> or <strong>False</strong>.</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

**Example**

**Switches the focus to a different browser window based on the specified window number.**

The **Switch to Different Window** action takes a value from the Input Value column **(e.g., 2)** and changes the active browser context to the specified window **(e.g., from the Home browser tab to the Admin tab)**. The result of this operation is stored in the **{SwitchWindow}** variable, which can have the following values:

* **True** – If the window switch was successful.
* **False** – If the switch failed, or an error occurred.
