Is there a way to create button to another section, to open it in active window? will it work in published doc?

Hi there @11162 😊 .

I did some testing and it is easy to create a button to switch between section (pages, subpages) by creating a simple `Open Hyperlink` button and entering the URL of the Section (page, subpage) where needed, but I don’t think it’s actually doable to open it in an active window.

I think, and I’m completely unsure about what I’m going to say, that when you’re in a section (page, subpage) you’re already in the active window, therefore, you can’t activate it.

Well, at least, after testing, that’s how I see it, but I could be completely wrong.

Could you please share your solution for “button to section” in new window?

I can share a button to section, but like I said, it won’t be opening in a new window as I think it is not doable at the moment 😕.

I never published a doc, so I needed to test that but could you check in the Sharing settings of your doc if **Doc Interaction** are on **Play**.

If it’s on **View** , I think it disable the button.

I just tested, it seems to work just fine 😁 !

And in a new window too 😁 !

@11162, Can I ask what you did to open your section in a new window ? 😊

Effectively, your button works when I’m signed in but not when I’m signed out 😕

The last thing I can think of, are the **Pages Settings** (in **Locking** ), which I didn’t changed in my test doc and the button never stopped working (Signed in or out).
