Description
In the section "Component Elements Of The Same Type" it states that
...and calls UNSAFE_componentWillReceiveProps(), UNSAFE_componentWillUpdate() and componentDidUpdate() on the underlying instance.
Next, the render() method is called and the diff algorithm recurses on the previous result and the new result.
But actually, in the component lifecycle, render should occur after componentDidUpdate. So this section may be misleading.

Research direction

Update the wording so the sequence is accurate and no longer misleading, then verify that the revised section clearly describes when render() and componentDidUpdate() occur.
