+# Automatic mount tracking
+
+If you are wanting to use enzyme in a large-scale application, you may want to automate
+calls to `unmount()` via a lifecycle hook in your test environment, rather than at the
+individual test level. Enzyme allows for this as part of its configuration:
+
+ES6:
+```js
+// setup file
+import { configure } from 'enzyme';
+import Adapter from 'enzyme-adapter-react-16';
+
+configure({
+  adapter: new Adapter(),
+  enableMountTracking: true,
+});
+```
+
+```js
+// test file
+import { shallow, mount } from 'enzyme';
+
+const wrapper = mount(<Foo />);
+```
+
+```js
+// test file (in a lifecycle hook)
+import { unmountAllWrappers } from 'enzyme';
+
+unmountAllWrappers();
+```
+
+ES5:
+<!-- eslint no-var: 0 -->
+```js
+// setup file
+var enzyme = require('enzyme');
+var Adapter = require('enzyme-adapter-react-16');
+
+enzyme.configure({
+  adapter: new Adapter(),
+  enableMountTracking: true
+});
+```
+
+<!-- eslint no-var: 0 -->
+```js
+// test file
+var enzyme = require('enzyme');
+
+var wrapper = enzyme.mount(<Foo />);
+```
+
+<!-- eslint no-var: 0 -->
+```js
+// test file (in a lifecycle hook)
+var enzyme = require('enzyme');
+
+enzyme.unmountAllWrappers();
+```
