Toggle the editing variable between false and true when the editing button is clicked. Bummer! You need to alter the value of the 'editing' variable within the ng-click attribute.
Im not sure how to complete this task, please help!

<a href=""ng-click="editing = !editing">Edit</a>
Every time the click event is triggered, you're telling editing to NOT be in its current state. So, if you're not currently editing the to-do item, when you click Edit, you will not NOT be editing, which is editing. If you are editing, you will trigger the NOT editing state.
I realize this can be tricky, so I encourage you to play with that functionality in Workspaces. Hope that helps!

24,815 PointsThanks Becky I realize the error that was made, perhaps I got it confused if editing is false then !false will be true, and if it is true the !true will be false. However I got the code working now.
