 There are several kinds or levels of `StateMachine` persistence (serialization). Let's look at sample use cases:

 ## Restoring StateMachine

 Typically, both instances are created by the same code.
 
+```kotlin
+val restoredRecordedEvents = jsonFormat.decodeFromString<RecordedEvents>(recordedEventsJson)

 Calling `restoreByRecordedEvents()` or its blocking analog `restoreByRecordedEventsBlocking()` will process
 recorded events over just created StateMachine instance.
 
 ```kotlin
-machine.restoreByRecordedEvents(recordedEvents)
+machine2.restoreByRecordedEvents(restoredRecordedEvents)
 ```
 
 `restoreByRecordedEvents()` method will start the machine if necessary.
 You can configure restoration process by `restoreByRecordedEvents()` arguments.
+The machine should not process any events before its restoration (in such case exception will be thrown) as
+it can possibly lead to incorrect restoration result.
