markInitialStateback to summary
public void markInitialState()

The runtime must ensure that the markInitialState method is called on each instance of this interface in the view at the appropriate time to indicate the component is in its initial state. The implementor of the interface must ensure that initialStateMarked returns true from the time markInitialState() is called until clearInitialState is called, after which time initialStateMarked() must return false. Also, during the time that the instance returns true from initialStateMarked(), the implementation must return only the state that has changed in its implementation of StateHolder#saveState.
