How do I add a button

I'm brand new to Construct 2, and I can't figure out how to do something as simple as add a button that changes the screen. I'm in a class that has this for a project so I'm trying to learn as much as I can before its due. Thanks for any of the help.

You can choose between read the manual or to make tons of questions like this one.

Your question is very generic. Please be more specific on the button's function.

If you want something simple like on click button go to layout 2 then just add the object button and do button is click condition then the action go to layout 2. its the easiest thing to do.

There also the on mouse object clicked onto sprite that turn a sprite object into a button like object. and just add the action.

Or you can put in the nuke launch code into a text field and then sprite hover over the sprite using mouse over the button.

you need to know how you can change the screen (Layout ) with button

that what I understand from your words
