# Open the CDE interface

For editing, you will want to open the editable version of the Sales Breakdown (CTools Dashboard) in CDE Dashboard Editor.

1. In the Pentaho User Console, navigate to the Browse Files perspective.
2. In the **Folders** pane, click to expand the `Public` folder, then click to highlight the `Steel Wheels` folder.
3. In the **Files** pane, click on `CTools Dashboard` and then, in the **File Actions** pane, click on **Edit**.

   You are now in the Opened perspective with the CDE in editing mode. The **Editing:CTools Dashboard** tab is now active in CDE.
