+        In some situations, like visual snapshot testing, it's helpful to

+        abitrary waits. To make this easier <code>react-transition-group</code>{' '}
+        exposes a way to globally toggle transitions. When set,{' '}
+        <strong>all</strong> transitions, when toggled, will immediately switch
+        to their entered or exited states as appropriate.
+      </p>
