The _[Using `PropertiesComponent` for Simple Non-Roamable Persistence](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/persisting-state-of-components.html#using-propertiescomponent-for-simple-non-roamable-persistence)_ section in the IntelliJ SDK Docs has been expanded. It is now more tutorial-like, with Java and Kotlin examples for typical use cases: toggles/switches, primitive types and lists.

In addition, there is a runnable [code sample](https://github.com/JetBrains/platform-playground/tree/main/persistence_properties_component) with a coffee counter that survives IDE restarts, and an accompanying [YouTube short with a summary](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lTHX-1nU1iQ).
