-In order for the close transition to take effect, you will also need to pass
-the `closeTimeoutMS={150}` prop to each of your modals.
 
 The above example will apply the fade transition globally, affecting all modals
 whose `afterOpen` and `beforeClose` classes have not been set via the
 `className` prop.  To apply the transition to one modal only, you can change
 the above class names and pass an object to your modal's `className` prop as
 described in the [previous section](classes.md).

+Also, if you are using `v3` which supports **React 16**, the close transition works [only if you use](https://github.com/reactjs/react-modal/issues/530#issuecomment-335208533) the `isOpen` prop to toggle the visibility of the modal.

+Do not conditionally render the `<Modal />`.

+
+```javascript

+  this.state.showModal ?
+  <Modal
+    closeTimeoutMS={200}
+    isOpen
+    contentLabel="modal"
+    onRequestClose={() => this.toggleModal()}
