+When a signal contains an object or array, mutating it directly does not notify subscribers because the setter was not called.
+Use the setter to create a new object or array instead:
+
+```jsx
+const [items, setItems] = createSignal(["apple", "banana"]);
+
+setItems((currentItems) => [...currentItems, "cherry"]);
+```
+
+For state that requires frequent nested updates, consider using a [store](/concepts/stores) instead.

 ## Reactivity
 
 Signals are reactive, which means that they automatically update when their value changes.
