Hi Dave In my edittemplate I have links to sections in my Workflowy, one for each letter and number, A-Z and 0-9, and by clicking it I can open a tab to the section of Workflowy corresponding to the first letter of the topic, and add the topic there. Iframes would not be a good idea for this. More work, and less space to work in Workflowy compared to using the entire tab for it.
