how does push window work

The "push window" feature in SwiftUI is an environment action that allows you to open a new window while hiding the originating window. This is particularly useful when you want to focus on content that doesn't need to be visible at the same time as the presenting window. When you use the push window action, the new window opens in place of the originating window, and closing the new window will bring back the original window without requiring additional logic.
For example, in the session Work with windows in SwiftUI, it is demonstrated how the push window action can be used to present a movie window in place of a robot editor window. This allows the user to focus on the movie without distractions, and upon closing the movie window, the editor window reappears.
This feature is part of a broader set of tools in SwiftUI for managing windows, which also includes actions like open window and dismiss window. These actions are available throughout the SwiftUI hierarchy, providing flexibility in how windows are managed and presented.
