which verbs are OK in this context?

Hi,

(1) Click OK to go to the selected folder.
(2) Press 'Next' to navigate to the output directory

I guess the verbs "to go" and "to navigate" work just fine in the sample sentences (1) and (2)?

What other verbs can I use for to go/to navigate in similar contexts?

(3) Further, click on 'Yes' to change to the Raw Data directory.

Is "to change" used correctly in (3)?

Are the verbs to go/to navigate/to change the only ones working OK in similar contexts?

Thank you!

To go and to navigate are perfect in these sentences. To change does not work if you are referring to actually moving into a different area of the windows program or a directory. In computer technology the word to change would refer to actually changing something about a feature of program or to make changes to the work you are doing inside the program.
