# isEditing

A Boolean value that determines whether the table view is in editing mode.

## Declaration

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

## Discussion

Discussion When the value of this property is true, the table view is in editing mode: The cells of the table might show an insertion or deletion control on the left side of each cell and a reordering control on the right side, depending on how the cell is configured. (See UITableViewCell for details.) Tapping a control causes the table view to invoke the data source method tableView(_:commit:forRowAt:). The default value is false.
