+title: tick
+---
+
+The `tick` function is unlike other lifecycle functions in that you can call it any time, not just when the component first initialises. It returns a promise that resolves as soon as any pending state changes have been applied to the DOM (or immediately, if there are no pending state changes).
+
+When you invalidate component state in Svelte, it doesn't update the DOM immediately. Instead, it waits until the next *microtask* to see if there are any other changes that need to be applied, including in other components. Doing so avoids unnecessary work and allows the browser to batch things more effectively.
+
+You can see that behaviour in this example. Select a range of text and hit the tab key. Because the `<textarea>` value changes, the current selection is cleared and the cursor jumps, annoyingly, to the end. We can fix this by importing `tick`...
+
+```js
+import { tick } from 'svelte';
+```
+
+...and running it immediately before we set `this.selectionStart` and `this.selectionEnd` at the end of `handleKeydown`:
+
+```js
+await tick();
+this.selectionStart = selectionStart;
+this.selectionEnd = selectionEnd;
+```
