# Embed an Edit Session of a Designer in an IFrame

## Overview

The **DirectEdit** action allows designers to embed an edit session of a Designer in an **iFrame** to bypass the Portal and be immediately taken to a Designer. The default action within a Decisions Designer URL is **action=edit**. If this link is opened it will prompt the user to log in. The Portal will load first and then it will load the specified Flow, Forms, Rule, Report, or Page. Also, with this default action, upon closing the Designer the user returns to the Portal.

3. Remove the **FolderId** and **pageName** parameters from the URL. Replace action=edit with action=directedit. Once finished, navigate to the new URL in the browser.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/image-1780416990413.png)
