+## Overview
+
+`<transition-group>` no longer renders a root element by default, but can still create one with the `tag` prop.
+
+## 2.x Syntax
+
+In Vue 2, `<transition-group>`, like other custom components, needed a root element, which by default was a `<span>` but was customizable via the `tag` prop.
+
+```html
+<transition-group tag="ul">
+  <li v-for="item in items" :key="item">
+    {{ item }}
+  </li>
+</transition-group>
+```
+
+## 3.x Syntax
+
+In Vue 3, we have [fragment support](/guide/migration/fragments.html), so components no longer _need_ a root node. Consequently, `<transition-group>` no longer renders one by default.
+
+- If you already have the `tag` prop defined in your Vue 2 code, like in the example above, everything will work as before
+- If you didn't have one defined _and_ your styling or other behaviors relied on the presence of the `<span>` root element to work properly, simply add `tag="span"` to the `<transition-group>`:
+
+```html
+<transition-group tag="span">
+  <!-- -->
+</transition-group>
+```

 So what about for when we have a whole list of items we want to render simultaneously, for example with `v-for`? In this case, we'll use the `<transition-group>` component. Before we dive into an example though, there are a few things that are important to know about this component:
 
-- Unlike `<transition>`, it renders an actual element: a `<span>` by default. You can change the element that's rendered with the `tag` attribute.
+- By default, it doesn't render a wrapper element, but you can specify an element to be rendered with the `tag` attribute.
 - [Transition modes](/guide/transitions-enterleave#transition-modes) are not available, because we are no longer alternating between mutually exclusive elements.
 - Elements inside are **always required** to have a unique `key` attribute.
 - CSS transition classes will be applied to inner elements and not to the group/container itself.
