Hi @duncant

You do that with the UpdateContext() function applied to the first button to set a variable. You then use the variable to make the second button's visible property either true or false. So for example make the first button's OnSelect property

UpdateContext({var:true})

and make the second button's Visible property "var". (without the "). Set the var property to false as a default in the OnVisible property of the screen. (UpdateContext({var:false}).

To toggle the visibility of the second button you can set the first button's OnSelect property as UpdateContext({var:!var}). If you play around with it you will see how it works.
