# 4. New Conversation (Parameter)

Starting a new conversation is one-click away in the `desktop navigation` reusable element:

When the Current User clicks the `Text "+ New Conversation"` button within the `desktop navigation` reusable element, they will be navigated to the messages page, with the parameter "v = new".

#### How this works:

In preview mode, the Current User clicks here (on any page which contains the `desktop navigation` reusable element):

The `Text "+ New Conversation"` element within the `desktop navigation` reusable element:

When it's clicked, this "Go to Page" workflow is run:

\
With this setup, the Current User is navigated to the messages page, with the added parameter "v=new".  This parameter is shown in the page URL, and 'tells Bubble' that the Current User would like to start a new Conversation, once the messages page is loaded.  

The `FG - Create New Conversation` element will then be shown to the Current User because of this conditional below.

The Current User will be able to immediately start adding recipient Users and typing their message when the page is loaded:
