Description
How would an instance change its props? Is this bit in reference to the deprecated setProps method? Or is this alluding to something that is discussed in later sections of this tutorial? If so, I can't find it.
In any event, it seems confusing and I've seen questions brought up about it without answers (other than those that refer to Redux).

Read the linked content/docs/state-and-lifecycle.md section, especially “State Updates May Be Asynchronous,” and determine what “instance change its props” refers to and whether it points to the deprecated setProps method or later tutorial content. Clarify the passage so its intended meaning is explicit, then check the nearby documentation for consistency.
