cambia a


Explanation:
It seems the sentenece may continue and here switches would be a verb in third person. This verb is very common in computers terminology. See some examples from the Microsoft glossary:

switches to the next window: cambia a la siguiente ventana

switches to the previous document: cambia al documento anterior


I just wanted to give another possible interpretation.
Good luck!
