# Joining Context

Note: If a context error occurs, the Rejoin patient link menu item will not be available for the rest of the current CPRS session. It will be available again when the user closes CPRS and then launches CPRS again.

1. Give focus to the application that you want to join context by either clicking on that application window or by holding down the Alt key and pressing tab until you highlight the appropriate application and then release the keys.

2. Choose File | Rejoin patient link.

3. If you want the other open applications to synchronize with the current patient in the application that has focus, choose Set new context. Or, if you want the current application to synchronize with the patient the other applications have open, choose Use Existing Context.
