Hi Peter,

You’re looking for the open_form method. This will either navigate to an existing instance of a form:

f = Form1("First arg", "Second arg")
open_form(f)

or create a new instance of the named form and navigate to that:

open_form("Form1", "First arg", "Second arg")

The second version here can be particularly useful when trying to avoid circular imports.

Hope that helps!
