I am merging the Launchpad OEE and the Launchpad Kpi project into a single project. the majority of the merging project is going well but when I click on the Launchpad Kpi button on the Launchpad OEE header, the main view changes as designed but the header buttons do not change to the Launchpad Kpi header. It stays at the Launchpad OEE header. Can you advise how to correct this?

Are the navigation mechanisms within docked views? Only one docked view can be open in the same region at once, so they would need to swap. I would put both navigation mechanisms into the same view if they aren't already. Then you can bind to the page property for the view path on the root container of the Navigation view, based on the path you would know which nav menu to display (using bindings on the display property of the menus).
Thank you for your time and assistance. I apologize if my earlier explanation lacked clarity, as I am still becoming familiar with the Ignition platform.
In the current configuration, the Launchpad OEE navigation buttons reside in the top docked view, consistent with the original design provided through the Ignition Exchange. The objective of this initiative is to consolidate the Launchpad OEE and Launchpad KPI projects into a single, unified project, with Launchpad OEE serving as the base framework. At this stage, approximately 90% of the integration has been completed, with this navigation configuration representing the final remaining issue.
Currently, I’ve placed all navigation buttons within a single view, and they function correctly in that configuration. However, just to confirm my understanding — Ignition does not support having two separate navigation headers (like those used in the original Launchpad OEE and Launchpad KPI Exchange projects) within the same merged project, correct?
Ignition does not support having two separate navigation headers opened at the exact same time in the same North dock region, but it does support multiple docks existing (one open, others closed) and allows you to swap back and forth as needed.
So you could do it with two different Docked Views. But it is likely easier to move all navigation components into one flex view, and toggle the Display property to hide one project's nav while in the other is active.
