# allowsMultipleSelectionDuringEditing

A Boolean value that controls whether users can select more than one cell simultaneously in editing mode.

## Declaration

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

## Mentioned in

Handling row selection in a table view

## Discussion

Discussion The default value of this property is false. If you set it to true, check marks appear next to selected rows in editing mode. In addition, UITableView doesn’t query for editing styles when it goes into editing mode. If you access indexPathsForSelectedRows, you can get the index paths that identify the selected rows.
