# 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>`

<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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.avoautomation.com/avo-assure/actions/web/browser/switch-to-different-window.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
