# editingDisabled

The document is busy and it isn’t currently safe for user edits.

## Declaration

```swift
static var editingDisabled: UIDocument.State { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This state is set just before UIDocument calls the disableEditing() method. It calls enableEditing() when it becomes safe to edit again. UIDocument also sets this state when an error prevents the reverting of a document.
