 The dev tool console shows messages with the same color prefix as the instance
 UIs.
 
+You can simulate the host losing messages by toggling the `Drop Updates` button
+on a specific instance. While enabled the instance will not recieve any updates
+as if the transport has failed to deliver them. On
+later reloads of the page the instance will load all updates as this state is 
+shared identically between all insances.

 #### Clean state
 
 Instances start with a clean slate: empty `localStorage` and `sessionStorage`.
