# shouldIndentWhileEditing

A Boolean value that controls whether the cell background is indented when the table view is in editing mode.

## Declaration

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

## Discussion

Discussion The default value is true. This property is unrelated to indentationLevel. The delegate can override this value in tableView(_:shouldIndentWhileEditingRowAt:). This property has an effect only on table views created in the grouped style (UITableView.Style.grouped); it has no effect on UITableView.Style.plain table views.
