# isEditing

A Boolean value that indicates whether the cell is in an editable state.

## Declaration

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

## Discussion

Discussion When a cell is in an editable state, it displays the editing controls specified for it: the green insertion control, the red deletion control, or (on the right side) the reordering control. Use editingStyle and showsReorderControl to specify these controls for the cell.
