I am building a JavaFX desktop dashboard. I want a persistent top navigation bar and a main content area that changes when users click navigation buttons. What layout structure and transition approach should I use in JavaFX to handle switching between views without opening separate windows?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Recommends BorderPane as the main application shell layout | Passed | Passed |
| Recommends swapping the center node of the BorderPane when switching views | Missed | Passed |
