# Switch to different Window

This is a pre-built Action located under the **@Browser Element**. The functionality of this Action in Avo Assure is to switch between two different windows or tabs during debugging or execution. The result is stored in a dynamic variable for further use during test execution.

## 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>Provide the window number to switch to the particular window.</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

**Output Value**: `<Dynamic Variable>(Optional);<Dynamic Variable>(Optional)`

<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>Both dynamic variable stores the status as <strong>True</strong> or <strong>False</strong>.</td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

### Example: Switching Between Browser Windows

In this example, we explain how to switch the browser focus to a different window using the **Switch to Different Window** action.

* **Action**: Switch to Different Window
* **Input Value**: 2
  * The input value (**2**) specifies the browser window number to which the focus should be switched (for example, from the Home tab to the Admin tab).
* **Output Value**: {Window}
  * The result of the switch window operation is stored in this **{Window}** dynamic variable with the following possible values:
    * **True**: Indicates that the browser successfully switched to the specified window.
    * **False**: Indicates that the window switch failed.
* **Logical Explanation**: The **Switch to Different Window** action takes the value from the **Input Value** column (**2**) and changes the active browser context to the specified window. If the operation is successful, the result is stored in the **{Window}** variable as true.

## 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-1.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.
