+Permanent components
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.21
+
+    The ability to mark a component ``permanent`` was added in UX React 2.21.
+
+The controller responsible to render the React components can be configured
+to keep the React component mounted when the root element is removed from 
+the DOM, using the ``permanent`` option.
+
+This is particularly useful when the root element of a component is moved around
+in the DOM  or is removed and immediately re-added to the DOM (e.g. when using 
+`Turbo`_ and its `data-turbo-permanent` attribute).
+
+.. code-block:: html+twig
+
+    {# templates/home.html.twig #}
+    {% extends 'base.html.twig' %}
