+## Recompiling Namespaces with Running States
+
+At the development time, whenever you "recompile" a namespace, depending on your setup, new versions of its recompiled classes would get reloaded.
+
+In case this namespace included a state reference (i.e. `(defstate ...)`), mount will check if this state is running at the point of recompilation, and if it is, _it will stop it_. Since after the recompilation an old reference to this state will be lost. Mount will also let you know if the state was stopped during recompilation:

+
+The state of course can be started again:
+
+```clojure
+dev=> (mount/start #'app.example/nrepl)
+
+INFO  app.utils.logging - >> starting..  #'app.example/nrepl
+{:started ["#'app.example/nrepl"]}
+```
+
 ## Affected States
 
 Every time a lifecycle function (start/stop/suspend/resume) is called mount will return all the states that were affected:
