# Apps can now edit orders they created

Previously apps could only edit orders created through a Shopify channel (for example, POS, online store, or draft orders). Going forward, apps can now edit orders they created. To determine if your app can edit an order on Shopify, you can query the **merchantEditable** field on the [Order](https://shopify.dev/docs/admin-api/graphql/reference/object/order) object. If the return value of this field is **true**, your app can edit the order.
