# isEditable

A Boolean that indicates whether a cell-based table’s column cells are user editable.

## Declaration

```swift
var isEditable: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion When the value of this property is true, the user can edit cells in the cell-based table’s column. The default value of this property is true. To initiate editing programmatically regardless of the value of this property, use the NSTableView editColumn(_:row:with:select:) method.
