I am new to thunkable but I have experience from [code.org](http://code.org)’s app lab. When using blocks for my app, I want to change something in a different screen when something happens in the current screen. I know I will be doing this often but I am stuck because whenever I am using blocks, only UI components of that screen show up whereas all of the other UI components from the other screens do not. One specific thing that I am trying to do is get the user’s name from the text input then applying that text input to the label in the next screen. How can I do this?

Hi and welcome to Thunkable!

You will need to save the component’s value (e.g. text) to a variable and then on the next screen, set the component’s value to that variable. You can learn more about variables here: [Variables - Thunkable Docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/variables)
