# Configure link actions

You can configure how Email security handles links in emails.

Note

You can only configure link actions if you deploy Email security via [MX/Inline](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/email-security/setup/pre-delivery-deployment/mx-inline-deployment/).

To configure link actions:

1. Log in to [Cloudflare One ↗](https://one.dash.cloudflare.com/).
2. Select **Email security**.
3. Select **Settings**, then go to **Detection settings** \> **Link actions** \> **View**.

You can configure **Link actions settings**, or **URL rewrite ignore patterns**.

## Link actions settings

To configure link actions, select **Configure**.

The dashboard will display **Open links evaluated as suspicious in a remote browser (Recommended)**. This option is turned on by default. Email security will also allow you to select message dispositions to open all the links for dispositioned emails in a remote browser.

Select one or more disposition, then select **Save**.

If **Open links evaluated as suspicious in a remote browser (Recommended)** is turned off, you can select **URL defang** or **No action** on each disposition. Select **Save** once you have completed the configuration.

When opening links, Email security will not allow you to:

* [Copy (from remote to client)](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/remote-browser-isolation/isolation-policies/)
* [Paste (from client to remote)](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/remote-browser-isolation/isolation-policies/)
* Use [keyboard](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/remote-browser-isolation/isolation-policies/)
* [Print](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/remote-browser-isolation/isolation-policies/)
* [Download files](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/remote-browser-isolation/isolation-policies/)
* [Uploads files](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/remote-browser-isolation/isolation-policies/)

## Add patterns for URLs

You can add patterns for URLs that should be rewritten.

1. Under **URL rewrite ignore patterns**, select **Add a pattern**.
2. Enter a valid IP, URL, or regular expression. You can enter up to 512 characters.
3. Select **Save**.

To edit a pattern, go to the pattern you want to edit, select the three dots, then **Edit**. Once you have finished modifying the URL patter, select **Save**.

To delete a pattern, go to the pattern you want to delete, select the three dots, then **Delete**.
