+
+Sets the storage partition used by the `webview`. If the storage partition ID starts with `persist:`,
+the `webview` will use a persistent storage partition available to all `webview` in the app with
+the same storage partition ID. If the ID is unset or if there is no `persist:` prefix, the `webview` will
+use an in-memory storage partition. By assigning the same partition ID, multiple `webview`
+can share the same storage partition.
+
+This value can only be modified before the first navigation, since the storage partition of an active
+renderer process cannot change. Subsequent attempts to modify the value will fail with a
+DOM exception.

 ## Methods
 
 The `webview` tag has the following methods:
