Tap the Open button.
If you checked Open in new Pane, the window will open in a second pane (#2 below).
If you unchecked Open in new Pane, the window replace the previous window (#1 below).
Notice the small rectangles at the top of the screen.
These are different screens (called “workspaces”), where you can open different windows.
Green thumbnails are empty workspaces where no windows are open.

You can tap on any of the thumbnails to move to that workspace.
You can also swipe sideways to move to a different workspace:
