# Connect Editor to a World
## Requirements
* All the World Builder content used in the packaged client/server must be available in the editor, as the editor cannot download uploaded World Builder content.
* Start the editor in the level you want to play in. We don’t currently have ways of checking you’re in the correct level.
* You’ll need to know where your editor executable is located. This can sometimes be difficult, but the simplest way is to
* Launch the desired editor via M2Launcher.
* Navigate to `%localappdata%/M2Launcher/Logs` and open the most recent log file.
* At the end of the file it will display the executable path.
* You’ll need the deployment name to hand, which can be found in the “Output Log” after creating an experience using the UI:
## Via PIE
Navigate to “Editor Preferences” and search for “Editor Connection Strategy”, then change to “Cloud”.
in “Editor Preferences” search for “Sign In”, click the + next to Per Client Sign in Settings and in the newly added array element below set the Type to “Single Sign On”\\
#### Play standalone
Also in “Editor Preferences”, search for “Standalone Game“ and add `-DeploymentName ` to the “Additional Launch Parameters” text box.
You can then launch using “Standalone Game”.
The first time you do this, you may be prompted with a Single Sign On dialog in another window. If the client pauses at the sign on phase, look for that window elsewhere.
#### Play in viewport
Start the editor via command line with the deployment name specified:
```
/Windows/Engine/Binaries/Win64/UnrealEditor.exe -DeploymentName
```
You can then play in any form of PIE on the cloud server.
## Via Command Line
It’s also possible to connect to a cloud world directly from the command line.
First, make sure the project settings are configured to open your intended map on launch.
You’ll also need to know where the `.uproject` for your project you created is located.
Below is an example command line that will connect to the cloud as editor, without opening any UI in the process:
```
/Windows/Engine/Binaries/Win64/UnrealEditor.exe" "\.uproject" -DeploymentName= -game -Windowed -ResX=1280 -ResY=720
```
