# commitEditing

Returns whether the receiver was able to commit any pending edits.

```
- (BOOL) commitEditing;
```

## Return Value

[`YES`](/documentation/ObjectiveC/YES) if the changes were successfully applied to the model, [`NO`](/documentation/ObjectiveC/NO) otherwise.

## Discussion

A commit is denied if the receiver fails to apply the changes to the model object, perhaps due to a validation error.

## See Also

[`- (void) discardEditing;`](/documentation/ObjectiveC/NSObject-swift.class/discardEditing)

Causes the receiver to discard any changes, restoring the previous values.
