Change Apple IDs on the computer?


Use the below as a guide of where to sign out/in.


What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support  


If you create/use a new Apple ID, you will lose access to some of your data and the purchases made with your existing Apple ID.  If you want to have 2 Apple IDs on the computer, I suggest going to System Preferences/Users & Groups and create a new user account to use the 2nd ID in.


If I am misunderstanding what you want to do, more information would help.
