I am attempting to build out the following in the link:

Within the "Selecting the field for your comment form" I press "ALT" and everything on my screen! disappears.

    Hello,

     

    To avoid confusion, galleries whose source is empty still display the controls that are in the gallery when we are in the editor.
    On the other hand, when you press the Alt key to simulate a user click, the studio display also switches from editing mode to user mode, in this case if the gallery source is empty, no control of it is possible. appears on the screen.

    To be able to simulate a click on a gallery control, the gallery must contain at least one item to display
    Otherwise the control must be placed outside the gallery

    For the error on the Back() formula, you should not put anything between the parentheses because this formula does not need arguments, it navigates back to the last screen.

     

    Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily.

    Back()

    Is an empty command. you do not write a screen name in it, it simply returns to previous screen.

    Navigate()

     is the directed one.

    And if galleries and forms do not have an item loaded in them yet, holding alt puts them in live mode, and being empty they would show no controls whilst holding alt.

    @DP487  coding is case sensitive.

    Back()

    is the correct Syntax
