@IBAction func navigateForward(_ sender: Any?)
```

## Parameters

`sender`

The sender.

## Discussion

This method is typically invoked in response to a user interacting with a control, the `sender`.

This method is animated and invokes the delegate’s [`pageControllerWillStartLiveTransition(_:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSPageControllerDelegate/pageControllerWillStartLiveTransition(_:)) and [`pageControllerDidEndLiveTransition(_:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSPageControllerDelegate/pageControllerDidEndLiveTransition(_:)) methods.
