Thanks for your great work.

I can't find clear information about how re-rendering and stateful third-party components interact.

Let's say I have a stateful data table web component that I use in the template. Is it going to be re-created every time the template is re-rendered (loosing its internal state)?

Thanks!

Elements are kept stable as long as the template containing them is rendered.

The template docs try to get this across by saying that Lit "re-render only the parts of template that have changed." Maybe that needs more detail.

There are details here: https://github.com/lit/lit/blob/main/dev-docs/design/how-lit...
