# Provide correct response to applyEdit()

[marrej]

At the moment vscode.workspace.applyEdit() returns always true, regardless whether the WorkspaceEdit was applied/discarded.

To provide a better feedback to the extensions relying on this signal, add a boolean property isApplied which would be true if at least one ResourceEdit has been applied. If none has been applied, no edit has been provided or discard has been pressed then false would be returned back.

This change should not impact existing functionality as only src/vs/workbench/contrib/notebook/browser/diff/notebookDiffActions.ts return back the result from bulkEditService.applyEdit() directly to callers of notebook.diff.cell.revertInput so the calling extensions (as its not called in VScode) should be able to continue functioning without any problems (as they would either rely on the result being undefined, or extracting the ariaSummary).

fixes #161133

Hi @jrieken, based on the discussion in #161133 i propose this simple fix for the Refactor Preview signal (apply/discard not being differentiated).
